KICad PCB Board Schema and Design

Posted 2 weeks ago

Worldwide

Summary

I need an experienced PCB designer to take a mostly-complete schematic through layout, routing, and manufacturing-ready files. The board is a ~100 × 80 mm, 2/4-layer carrier for a Raspberry Pi 4 that drives an electronic rotary latch (Southco R4-EM) and an NFC reader (PN532 over UART). It includes an onboard 12 V→5 V buck, a fail-secure high-side latch driver, status-sense inputs, reverse-polarity/ESD protection, and indicator LEDs. It's part of an open-source hardware project (open-overland.com). Scope: - Component placement + routing in KiCad (schematic and net list provided) - Ground plane / clean power routing, DRC-clean result - JLCPCB-ready outputs: Gerbers, BOM, and pick-and-place (CPL) - Footprint and part sanity-check against datasheets You should have: strong KiCad experience, comfort mixing a small switching regulator with signal routing, and a working JLCPCB assembly workflow. Bonus: Raspberry Pi HAT/carrier boards. I'll provide the schematic, net list, BOM, and a design doc. Small, well-scoped board — please share 2–3 examples of boards you've laid out, and a rough turnaround.
