Their work is often varied, and gives engineers the opportunity to take full ownership of a project and develop their own solutions to problems.

JOB DETAILS

Our most pressing requirement is support for our existing digital conference system, based on time division multiplexing on a 100Base-T physical interface. The product uses a mix of FPGA and embedded microcontroller code, with PCBs designed and maintained within the Altium suite. This product line is the core of the business, and is in continual development to add functionality for new projects.

The successful applicant will be able to demonstrate experience of designing consumer products, and delivering their designs to manufacture. The candidate will understand that the company thrives on developing new products, and delivering these products to customer installations. Free thinking is encouraged to come up with innovative solutions to projects.

New development projects expected in the near future:

• DSP / FPGA based audio over IR distribution system, built to an existing international standard and transmission protocol.
