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 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 expertise in 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 various 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).
• Lead and oversee 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 peripherals.
• Assist in hardware prototyping, validation, and testing of board assemblies.
• Maintain comprehensive project documentation and version control of design files.
• Contribute to the product development lifecycle from concept to mass production.

Requirements

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field. 10+ years experience in PCB design, layout, and embedded firmware development.
• Proficiency with major PCB design software (e.g., Altium, KiCAD, Solidworks PCB).
• Proficient in C/C++ or similar languages for embedded systems.
• Experience with microcontroller families (e.g., STM32, ESP32, ARM Cortex-M).
• Strong understanding of hardware design principles, including power management, noise reduction, and signal integrity.
• Familiarity with manufacturing standards (IPC, DFM/DFT).
• Experience working with contract manufacturers from prototyping to mass production.
• Strong analytical and debugging skills, with hands-on experience using lab tools (oscilloscopes, multimeters, logic analyzers).

Who We're Looking For:

• Passionate about engineering and innovation.
• Innovative thinker capable of driving product development and solving problems.
• Experienced leader with a background in design, prototyping, and fabrication teams.
• Entrepreneurial mindset, able to navigate a fast-paced startup environment.

Competitive salary and a great working environment.
