What is the difference between Full Time R&D Design Engineer vs Mechanical Design Engineer?

AspectFull Time R&D Design EngineerMechanical Design Engineer
Primary FocusResearch and development of new products and technologiesDesign and development of mechanical components and systems
Work EnvironmentLabs, R&D departments, innovation centersDesign offices, manufacturing plants, engineering teams
Required CredentialsBachelor's or higher in engineering, specialized R&D experienceBachelor's or higher in mechanical engineering, CAD skills
Industry UsageTechnology, electronics, automotive, aerospaceManufacturing, automotive, machinery, consumer products

While both roles involve engineering design, Full Time R&D Design Engineers focus on innovating and developing new products, often working in research settings. Mechanical Design Engineers primarily concentrate on designing mechanical parts and systems for production. The roles overlap in technical skills and educational background but differ in their core objectives and work environments.

Job description

Our Electronic Design Engineers work at the heart of our R+D team designing the electronics for the next generation of Naim Audio's world class HiFi systems and, our sister company, Focal's world class speakers.  Using your experience of working with high complex digital systems, you would be responsible for designing and implementing the electronics circuits that make Naim and Focal's streaming music systems sound so good.  The R+D team is cross functional, and works closely with Embedded Software Engineers, Mechanical Designers and Test Engineers.
From concept phase right through to production you would be involved in the electronics design process, simulating circuits, pre-scan of EMC rules, prototyping, creating schematics, designing PCBs, testing and assisting with the transition to manufacture.  
Electronic design; -
  • Digital circuit design including components such as Microprocessors, DSP, FPGA, DAC/ADC, Ethernet, DDR memory (non-exhaustive list).
  • High speed digital design.
  • Power supply design, linear and switched mode. 
  • Analogue circuit simulation and design of amplifiers and audio filters.
  • Prototyping and bench testing PCBs and circuits.
  • EMC and ESD.
  • Electronics design peer reviews.
  • Electronics architecture reviews.
  • Design feasibility evaluation.
  • Selection of electronic components for long-term application (long term reliability, extended lifespan, long term availability) which are compliant with the environmental compliance standards such as RoHS, REACH (non-exhaustive list).
  • Design for Manufacturability and Serviceability (DFM & DFS).
  • Assess the latest technologies - Keeping up to date with the state of the art.
ECAD Design:
  • Schematic design and PCB layout.
  • Analogue PCB design.
  • Power PCB design.
  • FPC and PCB Interconnection design.
  • System Integration.

Liaising with Suppliers and third parties:
  • RF Design Consultants.
  • Define & write the specifications.
  • Co-design with our ODM.
  • FFC and PCB Manufacturers.
  • Test Equipment suppliers.
  • Custom component design.
  • Sourcing component samples and liaising with companies for custom sample. 
We are looking for engineers with strong electronics engineering backgrounds, preferable with a specialisation in modern digital technologies such as high-speed signals commonly found with DSP and FPGA designs.  Knowledge of RF technologies such as Bluetooth and Wi-Fi would be beneficial, as would experience dealing with EMC sensitive applications.  
  • Degree qualified in Electronics engineering or similar discipline.
  • 8+ years of experience, ideally
  • Background of working in a commercial environment designing complex electronics products. 
  • Able to demonstrate depth of knowledge in multiple technical areas related to digital systems such as digital audio systems, high speed circuit design, FPGA or RF design
  • Analogue electronics design experience.
  • Lab skills such as debugging prototypes in collaboration with firmware engineers and using test equipment such as modern oscilloscopes and logic analysers. 
  • Experienced ECAD user, preferably Altium.
  • Knowledge and ability to design to global safety and EMC / ESD standards rules.
  • Familiarity with modern collaborative development tools and techniques such as Confluence and Jira.
  • Experience in the audio industry would be beneficial where critical listening was part of the design process. 
Communication Skills:
  • Good listener.
  • Team player, ready to help and share knowledge.
  • Fact based and rational argument.
  • Mentor for junior engineers.
Personality profile:
  • Organised and structured approach.
  • Rigorous and exhaustive approach
