I deeply despise engineering that only works on paper. With a PhD in Electronic and Automation Engineering, I don’t just build research experiments, I engineer robust, mass-production-ready hardware and firmware that survives the real world. If you are stuck in prototype purgatory or terrified of your next manufacturing run, I am here to get your product out of the lab and onto the factory floor. WHO I HELP Series A+ startups, ambitious SMBs, and R&D teams who need to stop iterating on breadboards and start manufacturing. WHAT I DELIVER Flawless hardware demands flawless firmware. I execute the full stack so you don't have to coordinate multiple freelancers: • Manufacturing-Ready Hardware: Custom PCB architecture, schematic capture, and layout. I don't just send you a schematic; I deliver a de-risked manufacturing package (Gerbers, resilient BOMs, DFM/DFT notes). • Bulletproof Firmware: Lean, scalable C/C++ (Bare-metal or RTOS like Zephyr/FreeRTOS) deployed on STM32, ESP32, and Nordic MCUs. • Secure Edge Connectivity: Stable RF telemetry (LoRaWAN, BLE, WiFi, Cellular NB-IoT) optimized for extreme low-power budgets. • Industrial Automation & Control: Complex motor control, analog sensor integration, and custom automated test fixtures (Python/LabVIEW) to ensure 100% production yield. MY UNFAIR ADVANTAGE • Zero Finger-Pointing: Because I design the board AND write the embedded code, there is no blame game between the hardware and software guys. I own the system architecture from end to end. • Total IP Ownership & NDA-Ready: You receive full ownership of the schematics, code repositories, and test scripts from day one. I operate under strict confidentiality, send over the NDA and let's get to work. • Documentation-First Factory Handoff: I don't just throw ZIP files over the wall. You get comprehensive architecture docs, build instructions, and direct manufacturing handoff support so your Contract Manufacturer (CM) knows exactly how to build and test your product. LET'S BUILD IT Stop wrestling with designs that won't scale. Message me with your core requirements (MCU preferences, power/enclosure constraints, target certs, and quantities) and let's map out your roadmap to production.

I’m Avi Gupta, an electronics and PCB design expert with 11+ years of experience and 500+ boards designed for IoT, industrial, medical and consumer products. I help startups and product companies turn ideas into production-ready hardware using Altium Designer and other industry tools. ✅What you actually get when you work with me • Boards that are designed to pass EMI/EMC, not just “hope for the best” • Architecture and layout decisions that reduce respins and save months • Clear, production-ready documentation your manufacturer will thank you for ✅I’m most useful to you if: • You have a concept or early prototype (ESP32, STM32, or similar) and need it turned into a robust, production-ready Altium design. • You already have a board that “sort of” works and you’re worried about noise, reliability, thermal issues, or compliance. • You need an experienced hardware mind to own the electronics while your internal team focuses on firmware, apps, or business. ✅What I can help you with 1. New product hardware design (concept to production-ready PCB) • Architecture and block diagrams for your electronics (MCU, power, interfaces, connectivity) • Schematic design and capture in Altium Designer (or KiCad/Eagle on request) • Multilayer PCB layout with controlled impedance, length matching, and proper grounding • Design for manufacturability (DFM) so your CM can build and test boards smoothly 2. PCB review, cost-down and reliability upgrade Already have a design? I can: • Review your schematic and PCB layout for signal integrity, power integrity, and EMI/EMC risks • Reduce BOM and PCB cost (alternative components, better stack-up, optimized routing) • Improve thermal behavior and reliability for 24/7 operation in real environments • Help you move from “prototype that works on the bench” to “design that works in production” 3. Compliance-conscious, production-focused design • Design practices aligned with EMI/EMC, CE, UL and CISPR requirements • Grounding, filtering, shielding and layout strategies to avoid surprises in the test lab • Clean documentation: schematics, PCB files, Gerbers, fabrication/assembly outputs, PDFs, BOMs ✅Recent project highlights • Designed an ESP32-based LoRa IoT sensor node with RS485/Modbus interface for industrial monitoring. Created a 4-layer Altium PCB optimized for low power, robust EMC behavior, and easy enclosure integration. • Developed an STM32-based industrial controller board with isolated digital inputs/outputs, 24 V power domains, and RS485/CAN communication. The hardware was taken from concept to tested prototype and prepared for volume manufacturing. • Reviewed and cost-optimized an existing ESP32 control board, replacing hard-to-source parts, simplifying the power stage, and reducing BOM cost by ~25% while improving thermal margins and layout quality. • Designed a Raspberry Pi-compatible expansion HAT with LoRa communication, environmental sensing, relay output and RGB indication. Delivered complete Altium design, manufacturing files, and test guidance for small-batch production. • Created a high-voltage/power PCB with isolated gate drivers, current sensing, and careful creepage/clearance management. Layout was done with EMI/EMC and safety in mind to support future certification. ✅Tools, technologies and platforms • Primary CAD: Altium Designer (main tool for professional work) • Also experienced with: KiCad, Eagle, EasyEDA, Proteus • MCUs: ESP32, ESP8266, STM32, NXP, TI and similar 32-bit controllers • Interfaces: RS485, Modbus, CAN, Ethernet, SPI, I2C, UART, USB • Wireless: Wi-Fi, BLE, LoRa (module-based designs) • Applications: IoT devices, industrial controllers, sensor boards, data loggers, power electronics, battery-powered products ✅How I work • Hardware-first mindset: I focus on solid electronics architecture and PCB design; I can support basic firmware bring-up and collaborate closely with your firmware/software team. • Clear communication: upfront questions, regular updates, and intermediate design reviews so there are no surprises. • Production thinking: I design as if your board will go to manufacturing – even if you’re only building 5–10 units today. If you need a reliable hardware partner to design, review or optimize your PCB for a real product (not just a one-off hobby build), send me a message with a short description of your project, current status, and timeline. Let’s see how we can get your hardware ready for the field.
