Product Design Engineer (PCB + 3D Enclosure Design) for Consumer Electronics Prototype

Job ID: 40177343

Budget: ₹1,500 – ₹12,500 INR

We are developing a handheld consumer electronics device based on the ESP32-S3 platform. We have a verified functional prototype and a preliminary Bill of Materials (BOM).

We are seeking a versatile Electromechanical Engineer to handle the complete physical design:

Electronics: Designing a custom PCB for the main control unit.

Mechanical: Designing the 3D-printable enclosure to house the electronics and a high-capacity battery.

Key Responsibilities:

Mechanical Design (3D CAD):

Design a 2-part enclosure: A "Main" unit (housing the PCB, Display, and Sensors) and a "Base" unit (housing a large cylindrical Li-Ion battery).

Design the internal mounting strategy (screw bosses, snap-fits) and wire channels to route power cables between the two units.

Ensure precise cutouts for USB-C, SD Card, and the display window.

PCB Design (ECAD):

Create a custom shape PCB based on your own 3D enclosure constraints.

Route the schematic (ESP32-S3 module, Power Path Management, I2S Audio) on a 2-layer board.

Implement "keep-out zones" for the antenna and proper noise isolation for digital audio traces.

System Integration:

Verify the fitment of the PCB inside the enclosure using 3D interference checking before finalizing files.

Select appropriate wire-to-board connectors for the internal power harness.

Required Skills:

PCB Design: KiCad or EasyEDA (Schematic + Layout).

3D CAD: Fusion 360, SolidWorks, or Onshape (Must be able to export STEP/STL).

Prototyping: Experience designing for FDM/SLA 3D printing (tolerances, wall thickness).

Electronics: Experience with ESP32-S3 hardware, Lithium Battery Power Path circuits, and I2S Digital Audio.

Deliverables:

Manufacturing Files (PCB): Gerbers, BOM, Pick & Place files.

Manufacturing Files (3D): STL/3MF files ready for 3D printing.

Source Files: Editable KiCad/EasyEDA files AND editable 3D CAD files.

Assembly Guide: A simple rendering or diagram showing how the PCB mounts into the shell.

Project Specifics:

Core Module: Small form-factor ESP32-S3 module (Castellated mounting).

Power: Single Cell 21700 Li-Ion (Base mounted).

Peripherals: SPI TFT Display, I2S Microphone & Amplifier, Servo Motors.

Note to Applicants: We have a fully verified Pin Mapping Table and Component List ready to share with the selected candidate to speed up the electronic design process.
