Production-Ready PCB Design | Multilayer Boards That Work First Time | Altium, KiCad, STM32 & ESP32
Need a PCB design that works flawlessly in productionโnot just in simulation?
I'm an electronics engineer specializing in manufacturing-ready PCB layouts for IoT devices, embedded controllers, and custom electronics. Over 5 years, I've helped 40+ startups and product teams move from concept to certified production hardware without costly respins.
โ WHAT YOU GET:
โ First-spin success rate 85% (most designs work perfectly out of fabrication)
โ Signal-integrity-tested layouts that pass EMC/EMI compliance
โ DFM-optimized designs that reduce your assembly costs by 20-30%
โ Manufacturing files accepted first-time by JLCPCB, PCBWay, and all major fabs
โ Complete documentation: schematics, Gerbers, BOM, pick-and-place, assembly notes
๐ฏ SPECIALIZED IN:
โข 1-8 Layer PCB Design & Layout (Altium Designer, KiCad, EasyEDA)
โข ESP32 / STM32 / RP2040 / Arduino embedded controller boards
โข IoT hardware (WiFi, BLE, LoRa, cellular, sensor integration)
โข Power supply design (buck/boost converters, LDOs, battery management)
โข High-speed digital & mixed-signal boards with proper SI/PI analysis
โข Cost-optimized redesigns and DFM/DFA reviews
๐ฅ WHY CLIENTS CHOOSE ME:
โ I think like a product engineer, not just a layout technicianโI catch design risks before fabrication
โ I've shipped boards into production for consumer IoT, industrial control, and medical monitoring applications
โ I optimize for three things: performance, manufacturability, and costโin that order
โ I deliver complete, professional packages with zero back-and-forth on file formats
โ Average response time: <3 hours during business days
๐ TRACK RECORD:
โข 50+ PCB designs delivered to production across 15 countries but not upwork here
โข Boards shipping in products with 5K-50K unit annual volumes
โข Clients in smart home, agricultural tech, medical devices, and industrial automation
โข Typical project timeline: 3-10 days for schematic + layout + files
๐ ๏ธ IDEAL PROJECTS:
โ Custom embedded controller PCBs (2-6 layer)
โ IoT sensor and communication boards
โ Product redesigns for manufacturing and cost reduction
โ PCB review and troubleshooting (pre-fabrication or post-failure analysis)
โ Rapid prototyping with tight timelines
๐ก MY PROCESS:
1. Requirements Review (15-30 min call): We clarify specifications, constraints, and success criteria
2. Schematic Design: You get a complete, readable schematic with part selection optimized for availability and cost
3. PCB Layout: Fully routed board with proper copper pours, impedance control, and thermal management
4. DFM Verification: I run manufacturer checks and optimize for your chosen fab house
5. Delivery Package: Gerbers, drill files, BOM, CPL, PDFs, native project files, and assembly notes
๐ READY TO BUILD HARDWARE THAT WORKS?
Click the green button above to start a conversation. Share your requirements, and I'll provide a clear project plan and timeline within 12 hours.
I only take 3-4 projects monthly to ensure quality and attention. If you need reliable PCB design that ships on time and works first time, let's talk today.
