I help clients develop a clean, maintainable, production-ready schematic and PCB layout in KiCad.
This service is ideal for Startups, open-hardware teams, SMEs, research and product teams. It is structured for commercially serious projects where reliability, performance, documentation, communication, and production readiness matter more than simply completing a drawing.
SERVICE SCOPE
✅ KiCad project setup, schematic capture, hierarchy, annotation, ERC, and design documentation
✅ Custom symbols, footprints, courtyard data, pin mapping, and 3D-model association
✅ Two-layer and multilayer PCB placement, routing, planes, power distribution, and design-rule configuration
✅ Controlled impedance, differential routing, RF/wireless constraints, mixed-signal partitioning, grounding, and thermal planning
✅ Manufacturability, assembly, test access, component availability, and enclosure-interface review
✅ Gerber, drill, BOM, position files, drawings, PDF, and STEP-output preparation
WHAT YOU WILL RECEIVE
✅ Editable KiCad schematic and PCB project
✅ Verified custom libraries and 3D data where required
✅ Complete PCB fabrication and assembly package
ENGINEERING APPROACH
I normally begin by reviewing the product objective, development stage, available files, interfaces, expected quantities, enclosure constraints, operating environment, compliance targets, and the client’s main technical concern. For complex work, architecture review and finalization are completed before detailed circuit or PCB design begins.
I do not treat KiCad as a low-cost shortcut. The same engineering attention is applied to architecture, component suitability, routing quality, return paths, EMI/EMC exposure, DFM, DFA, and DFT.
RELEVANT EXPERIENCE
Ideal for commercial products, open-source hardware, industrial controllers, IoT devices, sensor boards, development boards, and prototype-to-production conversion.
Projects may be completed hourly or through clearly defined milestones. Components, fabrication, assembly, shipping, laboratory certification, paid software/services, and other third-party costs are separate unless specifically included.
To receive an accurate scope, please share the product requirements, existing schematic or PCB files, block diagram, datasheets, mechanical information, expected deliverables, target schedule, and any known technical issues.
