I am looking for a skilled PCB layout designer to assist with a project for our existing business. The PCB layout will need to be of moderate complexity, with a double layer design. While I already have some of the components for the layout, I will require assistance in sourcing the remaining components.
Ideal Skills and Experience:
- Strong experience in PCB layout design
- Proficiency in designing double layer PCB layouts
- Knowledge of component sourcing and procurement
- Attention to detail and ability to ensure proper component placement and connections
I already have working veroboard prototypes and require help turning these into a PCB that can be hand assembled. Most of the components are on daughter boards, so this may be a routing job.
If it's cost effective to take some of the designs of the daughter boards we buy in (that are open source) and incorporate them into the current design (to reduce component cost and hand assembly cost) this is useful. This also has to have USBA connectors (we connect to one-wire via USB connectors) and has a touch-screen which will also need to be reliably connected.
There are three busses on this project - SPI, oneWire and I2C. The design will also need to incorporate spare capacity in case I need to add extra modules to these busses, so I want to build in some future proofing as well.
