What I actually do:
Most freelancers just snap pre-built modules together and call it a day. I design systems from the bare copper up.
I am a mechatronics and PCB designer specializing in bridging the gap between custom electronics, mechanical kinematics, and firmware. If you are stuck trying to get a prototype off a breadboard and into a functional, lab-ready product, that is exactly where I step in.
Here is what I deliver:
--Custom PCB Design (KiCad & EasyEDA): 4-layer routing, impedance matching, and strict DFM. I build mixed-signal boards and custom carrier boards, keeping noisy power lines isolated from your sensitive RF antennas.
--3D CAD & Mechanical (Fusion 360): Parametric modeling, rigid enclosures, and complex kinematic joints. I don't just make it look good; I simulate moving parts and clearances to ensure it actually fits together in the real world.
--Embedded Hardware: Integrating ESP32 controllers, motor control loops, IMUs, and complex sensors without the noise.
Note: I specialize in embedded mechatronics, battery-powered robotics, and consumer electronics. I do not design 230V AC mains or industrial high-voltage power grids.
Let's stop fighting with off-the-shelf parts that don't fit your project. Send me a message with your technical constraints, and let's engineer a real solution.
15+ Years Experience with more than 5000+ PCB design delivered. A Top Rated Plus freelancer with 100% Job success score.
I help to develop stable, repeatable, manufacturable design for Startups, Individuals and product manufacturing teams.
Following things are my expertise -
-Schematic design and multi-layer PCB design in Eagle, KiCAD, Autodesk Fusion360, Altium and Easyeda.
-Power Electronics in DC-DC, battery charging systems, PoE, Motor drivers, AC-DC converters
- All ESP32 chipsets along with Rokchip, i.MX. RPI CM5, CM4, nRF52 series, STM32 and others
- Compliance check like FDA, AEC for Automotive, Consumer Electronics RoHS, CE and FCC
- High speed PCIE, DDR4, DDR5, CSI, MIPI, HDMI and display driver protocol.
- Low power connected devices that runs on battery and requires extreme battery backup.
- RF Boards having 2.4Ghz Bluetooth or WiFi to 20Ghz Doppler boards .
- Have experience of very small micro devices that requires HDI stack up and different FAN OUT protocols for Microprocessors.
I worked in Medical devices, Automotive Electronics designs, wearables and measurement RF devices.
My design takes consideration of thermal behaviors, easy and trouble free Manufacturing support. Work wise - clear and steady communication, no disappearance after you make prototype.
File delivery includes Design source file in all cases with Gerber, pick n place, BOM, 3D files. The BOM and Pick n place file generally done in a way that common manufacturer like JLCPCB or PCBWay will provide the PCB from single upload of my file which will be available at your doorstep.
I also have own lab to support prototype bring ups and testing facility in my location from all over the world via Fedex and DHL channel.
If you are looking for clear, straight forward person who can support you in all phases of product development and work flawlessly to design the hardware where you can concentrate in other aspect, Here I am. Do ping me for any issues.
