Need a production-ready PCB for your embedded product, IoT device, or drone? I can take your idea from concept to manufactured board. I'm an Electronics Engineer with a Top Rated badge and 100% Job Success Score across 20+ projects on Upwork. I specialize in custom PCB design for embedded systems, IoT devices, and UAV electronics. What I design: - ESP32 & STM32 boards — Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, BLE, and wired connectivity - UAV electronics — flight controllers, telemetry modules, power distribution - Sensor & data acquisition boards — high-resolution ADCs, multi-sensor stacks - RF & wireless boards — BLE 5.x, sub-GHz, long-range telemetry - Power management & distribution — Li-Po charging, multi-rail buck/LDO, monitoring - LED driver & high-voltage control boards My workflow covers the full cycle: hierarchical schematic capture → component selection → multilayer PCB layout → DFM/DFA review → Gerber, BOM, and Pick-and-Place files ready for fabrication. I also handle prototype bring-up and basic functional testing. I work fluently in KiCad and Altium Designer, and I'm comfortable with high-speed routing, impedance control, RF layout, and EMI/EMC-aware design. If you have a hardware idea — embedded product, IoT device, drone subsystem, or a custom board — let's discuss turning it into a board you can manufacture.

I help companies turn ideas and electronics designs into fully working and reliable devices. I am a Hardware and Firmware Engineer with 10+ years of experience developing real products, with hardware designed for 70+ successful projects, many of which are currently on the market. Unlike many freelancers who stop at schematic and PCB design, I support projects through board bring-up, firmware integration, and system debugging in a hardware lab, ensuring the device actually works and meets the expected specifications. I also work directly with PCB manufacturers and assembly partners, helping clients avoid production issues and ensuring designs move smoothly from prototype to manufacturing. My approach focuses on building functional systems, validating them through testing, and identifying issues early before they become expensive problems in production. Two client Products I Have Developed: ✅ Smart home devices ✅ Corrosion monitoring sensors ✅ Drone and boat controllers ✅ Gimbal control systems ✅ BLDC motor controller for medical beds ✅ Muscle stimulators ✅ Medical scales ✅ Smart irrigation and weather monitoring systems ✅ Smart camera systems What I Deliver: ✅ Hardware architecture and PCB design ✅ Embedded firmware development ✅ Functional PCB prototypes ready for testing ✅ Board bring-up and hardware validation ✅ Hardware debugging and troubleshooting ✅ Reliability design reviews (ESD protection, thermal stability, power integrity, signal integrity, EMC, UL, CE) Typical Projects I Help With: ✅ Bringing up new PCB prototypes ✅ Debugging boards that are not working or unstable ✅ Hardware and firmware integration ✅ Reviewing schematics and PCB layouts before manufacturing ✅ Reliability audits to improve product lifetime ✅ Fixing power stability, ESD protection, and thermal issues During my career, I have used various technologies and components. Below are some of them: ⭐RF modules: LORA, WIFI, BLE, GPS, GSM, LTE, ZIGBEE, NRF52840, ESP32, SARA-R510, CC2530, CC2538, SIM9001, SIM800, Quectel, Arduino_IOT... ⭐Microcontrollers/Microprocessors: STM32 ( F and L family), ATAMEGA, ESP32, MSP430, MSP432, ATSAM, NFR52840, PIC32, PIC24, NXP, ARDUINO, IMX8... ⭐ Sensors: Temperature, humidity, O2 sensor, PH sensor, Light sensor, motion sensor, water leakage sensor, Nitrate sensor, current sensors, Voltage sensor, distance sensors, corrosion sensor, Scale sensors, accelerometers, Magnetometers, Rain sensor, Air quality sensors... If you are looking for someone who can design, bring up, and debug your hardware until it works as expected, please send me a message, and we can discuss your project.
