Hi,
My name is Cody Phipps and I am freelancer located in Austin, Tx. I am Electrical Engineer with a focus in power and control systems. While I attended Louisiana Tech University, I worked on many projects dealing with designing and printing PCBs. After started my career in transmission line studies, I quickly found out I wanted to develop electronics for my career. I started freelancing and evenutally started an LLC to chase my dreams as a product developer. Since then, I have developed over 80 products for many fields including medical, military/government and industrial.
Products that I have develop include:
- IoT and wirless capabilities (Wifi, BLE, Thread, LoRa, etc)
- AC and DC power systems
-Solar and alternate energy systems
-Wearables
-Many types of sensors - accelerators, temperature, humidity, etc
In addtion to design, I also offer printed circuit board assembly and I have built a majority of my designs myself. I achieve this with my personal line that I have which is capable of building small run jobs (up to 500 units a week). I also have access to a larger line for much bigger manufacturing jobs.
Here is the typical breakdown of what you would expect from my services:
Research and Development:
- Identify major components
- Draw breadboard proof of concept block diagram
- Build breadboard proof of concept
- *See firmware Development Section
Schematic Capture:
- Draw symbols and footprints of components not in library already
- Capture Power circuit
- Capture MCU circuit
- Capture peripheral circuits
- Export Bill of materials
Layout Design:
- Determine board shape, constraints and layer count
- Floor plan components
- Draw power and ground planes
- Trace Critical traces
- Trace the rest of the nets
- Run DRC
- Draw Fabrication Drawing
- Draw Assembly Drawing
- Export Gerbers, Drills, OBD++, PnP, etc
- Send Boards off to Fab
- Order stencils, Components, etc
Firmware Development:
- Develop Firmware for POC
- Add finishing touches to the firmware
Build and Test:
- Develop Test plan
- Check in Parts
- Assemble boards
- Perform Testing
- Write Product specification
- Determine next steps
I can give virtual tours of products I'm working on as well as give you five references to ones I developed products for and with.
Thanks,
Cody Phipps
