    🏆 Top Rated Product Developer ( I've developed my own products || I'm now helping others on the Upwork platform ) 🏠 I have a Small Home Laboratory to develop/debug prototype boards for your product 💭 I'm a native English speaker My name is Stephen, and I have 25+ years in product development, including 13 years at Microchip in roles like Test Engineer, Design Engineer, Silicon Validation, and Applications Engineer. I specialize in developing products from concept to working systems. I can handle both hardware and software or work flexibly on specific areas like architecture and hardware design. I’ve developed two successful products: (1) KEYKatcher hardware keylogger – A device plugged into a PS/2 keyboard port to record and play keystrokes. It was popular among parents for monitoring children's computer use, with tens of thousands sold. Sales declined as PS/2 ports became obsolete (2) TightWatt pool timer – An intelligent controller for swimming pool motors, featuring a year-round algorithm. It was awarded a patent and gained national distribution. Through all the product development, I’ve created a system for planning and designing working products. This system reduces costs ( by reducing mistakes ). I frequently make product improvements in 1️⃣ Lowering energy usage: important in battery-powered products 2️⃣ Increasing performance: increasing sample rates or changing communications protocols 3️⃣ Lowering product cost: making full use of the microcontroller peripherals to reduce external components I have completed more than 70 projects on Upwork but to check my capabilities or skills, you can check out the following projects: ➡️ Hardware Prototype Design for Plant Monitor Product using ESP-32 ➡️ Microchip ATtiny202 Code Development ➡️ Energy Storage Monitoring System ➡️ BM83 Bluetooth Application Schematic ➡️ Embedded System with PIC Microcontroller & Accelerometer ➡️ PCB Power Usage Optimization ➡️ TI MSP430 Development Additional Skills: ➕ Leading-edge technologies such as USB/USB-C, Lithium Battery Charging, LED and Color Mixing, I2S Digital Audio, and Analog Measurements ➕ Common Communication Busses: USB, RS-232, RS-485, CAN, I2C, SPI, Infrared ( with carrier ) As mentioned above, I have a small home laboratory where I have all the tools I need to develop/debug prototype boards for your product. This includes: ⚙️ Multiple programmers for Microchip, Atmel, and TI parts ⚙️ Logic analyzers to quickly find issues with communication busses such as I2C, SPI, UART, I2S, …. ⚙️ A “power profiler” with picoAmp range ( yes, picoAmp, a trillionth of an Ampere ) for power optimization of low-power products ⚙️ A reflow oven for assembling prototype PCBs ⚙️ Inspection equipment for verifying PCB assembly ⚙️ A fellow Upwork contractor is available to do the physical assembly work. She works at a much lower rate than me and has the patience to hand-populate / hand-solder prototype boards Some electronic inventory is on hand. I may have all the components in-house to complete your project Feel free to contact me through UpWork. Best Regards, Stephen

  • Experience with EMC and EMI mitigation. Proficiency in designing PCBs that minimize electromagnetic interference (EMI) and electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) issues, using techniques such as proper grounding, shielding, and trace routing to meet compliance standards.

What to know before you hire a PCB designer

Crafting a well-structured job post is an excellent first step in hiring a PCB designer, but gaining a deeper understanding of the services they provide, the costs associated with hiring one, and the key technologies and tools of the role can help you land a PCB designer tailor-fit for your project.

Understanding these aspects will help you attract the right candidates and select a designer who aligns with your project’s goals and can create a high-quality, manufacturable PCB layout. Whether you’re looking to design a high-frequency board, manage complex multilayer layouts, or ensure compliance with industry standards, a skilled PCB designer can significantly improve the performance, reliability, and manufacturability of your electronic products.

Average cost of hiring a PCB designer in 2024

When hiring a PCB designer, the costs can vary significantly depending on several factors, including the scope of your project, the designer’s expertise, and their location. According to ZipRecruiter, in the United States, the average annual pay for a PCB designer is approximately $100,705, which translates to about $48.42 per hour. However, rates can fluctuate based on the designer’s experience level.

Here’s a breakdown of typical hourly wages based on experience level:

  • Beginner. $20 to $36 per hour
  • Intermediate. $36 to $58 per hour
  • Expert. $58 to $70 per hour

These rates reflect the designer’s ability to handle complex challenges, their proficiency with key PCB design tools, and their experience in creating reliable and manufacturable board layouts. While investing in an expert designer might come with a higher upfront cost, the value they bring in terms of quality, efficiency, and long-term reliability can be well worth it.

Services PCB designers provide

PCB designers play a vital role in the development of electronic products, offering a range of specialized services to ensure that your circuits are not only functional but also optimized for performance, reliability, and manufacturability. Here are some of the key services that PCB designers provide:

PCB layout design

A core service provided by PCB designers is creating detailed PCB layouts that meet your project’s specifications. This involves arranging components, routing traces, and ensuring that the board layout adheres to design for manufacturability (DFM) principles. A well-designed PCB layout is crucial for minimizing signal interference, managing power distribution, and ensuring the overall reliability of the board.

Schematic capture and design

PCB designers translate your circuit ideas into detailed schematics, which serve as the blueprint for the PCB. This process involves selecting components, defining connections, and ensuring that the schematic accurately represents the intended functionality of the circuit. A precise schematic is essential for avoiding errors during the PCB layout and manufacturing stages.

Signal integrity and thermal management

To ensure optimal performance, PCB designers provide services focused on signal integrity and thermal management. They use advanced techniques to minimize electromagnetic interference (EMI) and signal loss, ensuring that high-speed signals are transmitted accurately. Additionally, they implement thermal management strategies, such as placing thermal vias and designing heat sinks, to prevent overheating and ensure the longevity of the board.

Prototyping and testing

PCB designers often assist in the prototyping phase, helping to create test boards that can be evaluated before full-scale production. This service includes refining the design based on test results, making necessary adjustments, and ensuring that the final product meets all functional requirements. Prototyping and testing are essential steps to identify and resolve potential issues early in the development process.
