Industrial Hardware Design & PCB

About the project

I have an industrial-grade product moving from concept into full hardware design, and I want an embedded hardware architect who can also drive a robust multi-layer PCB layout. The work is centred on designing new hardware—not tweaking an existing board—so every decision from component selection to stack-up, power integrity and EMI/EMC strategy has to start from first principles and end in a manufacturable, production-ready package. The equipment will operate inside a factory environment with the usual electrical noise, temperature swings and mechanical vibration, so I’m expecting careful attention to isolation, thermal management and long-term reliability. You’ll translate my functional block diagram into clean schematics, size critical nets, route high-current paths, and make sure the board passes industrial compliance tests without heroic last-minute fixes. Key deliverables • Complete schematics in Altium or KiCad (source + PDF) • Optimised PCB layout with Gerbers, drill files and 3D step model • Detailed BOM with alternates in case of supply-chain shocks • Design reports covering signal integrity, power budgeting and DFM/DFT considerations • A brief hand-off session to walk me through the design choices and test points If your background spans both embedded hardware architecture and hands-on PCB layout for industrial equipment, I’d like to see examples of boards you have taken to production. Let’s build this right the first time.
