Job Description
Job Title: Head of PCB Design and Layout Department
Location: Muscat/Oman
Job Type: Full-Time
Department: R&D
Reports To: Technical Director/General Manager
Company Description
Aphcarios Engineering Solutions is an innovative product development company focused on designing and developing electro-mechanical products. We are committed to our motto "Innovate for a better Tomorrow". We are continually expanding our product range and focusing on R&D for various industries including Oil & Gas.
Job Overview
We are seeking a highly skilled PCB Designer/Layout Engineer with a strong background in embedded software development and hardware engineering. The ideal candidate will be responsible for the end-to-end design of printed circuit boards (PCBs) from schematic capture and layout through to manufacturing and testing. This role requires a deep understanding of design for manufacturability (DFM) component placement signal integrity and the full PCB lifecycle including collaboration with contract manufacturers.
The successful candidate will have a proven track record of designing and delivering reliable production-ready PCB assemblies and embedded systems for a variety of applications.
Key Responsibilities
Design and layout of multi-layer PCBs including high-speed digital analog and power circuits using industry-standard EDA tools (e.g. Altium Designer KiCAD Eagle).
Team leadership including oversight of junior designers and fresh graduates.
Collaborate with hardware engineers to translate schematics and system-level requirements into optimized PCB layouts.
Route complex signals ensuring signal integrity proper impedance matching and minimal EMI/EMC.
Optimize component placement and board layout for thermal management testability and manufacturability.
Generate and review Gerber files BOMs and assembly documentation for fabrication and assembly.
Work closely with contract manufacturers for DFM analysis board bring-up and troubleshooting.
Develop and debug embedded firmware for microcontrollers and SoCs interfacing with sensors communication modules and peripheral components.
Assist in hardware prototyping validation and testing of board assemblies.
Maintain comprehensive project documentation and version control of design files.
Provide input to the product development lifecycle from concept to mass production.
Requirements
Required Qualifications
Bachelors degree in Electrical Engineering Computer Engineering or a related field. 10 years of hands-on experience in PCB design layout and embedded firmware development.
Strong proficiency with at least one major PCB design software (e.g. Altium KiCAD Solidworks PCB).
Proficient in C/C or similar languages for embedded systems.
Experience with common microcontroller families (e.g. STM32 ESP32 ARM Cortex-M).
Solid understanding of hardware design principles including power management noise reduction and signal integrity.
Familiarity with manufacturing processes including PCB fabrication and assembly standards (IPC DFM/DFT).
Demonstrated experience working with contract manufacturers and managing the manufacturing pipeline from prototyping to mass production.
Strong analytical and debugging skills with hands-on experience in lab tools (oscilloscopes multimeter logic analyzers).
Who We re Looking For:
Passionate about engineering and innovation.
An innovative thinker who can drive product development and problem-solving.
Experienced leader with a background in design prototyping and fabrication teams.
Entrepreneurial mindset able to navigate a fast-paced startup environment.
Strong communicator
