Compact BLE Device PCB Design Project
Budget: $250 – $750 AUD
Freelance PCB Designer Needed — Compact BLE Handheld Device
We are looking for an experienced freelance PCB designer / electronics engineer to complete the schematic capture, PCB layout, and manufacturing handoff for a confidential compact handheld wireless device prototype.
This is a real prototype project intended for investor presentation and functional demonstration, with a possible path to production if successful.
Scope
The selected freelancer will take an existing confidential design package and turn it into a PCB manufacturing package suitable for prototype fabrication and PCBA.
The work includes:
final schematic capture
PCB layout
support for unusual board geometry and tight mechanical constraints
preparation of manufacturing files
support through prototype vendor feedback / DFM questions
Device characteristics
The product is a compact handheld wireless device with:
low-power BLE electronics
custom sensing
compact circular / non-standard PCB geometry
moving mechanical elements near the PCB
custom lighting
tight mechanical height and keep-out requirements
This is not a generic rectangular PCB project.
Deliverables required
The freelancer must deliver everything needed for PCB fabrication and PCBA, including:
native schematic files
native PCB layout files
schematic PDF
PCB PDF
Gerbers
drill files
pick-and-place / centroid
final locked BOM with exact manufacturer part numbers
assembly notes
fabrication notes
final board dimensions / hole positions / keep-outs
one revision after design review
one revision after prototype vendor DFM feedback
Strongly preferred:
test-point map
bring-up checklist
prototype handoff notes
Required experience
Please only apply if you have solid experience with:
custom PCB design
low-power embedded hardware
BLE-aware or RF-aware PCB layout
compact mechanical packaging
preparing files for prototype manufacture
Strong plus if you have worked on:
circular or annular PCBs
unusual mechanical keep-outs
sensor-heavy boards
compact consumer hardware
Nordic / BLE boards
Tools
Please state:
which EDA tool you use
whether you can work in KiCad and/or EasyEDA
whether you can provide fully editable native files
Proposal requirements
Please include:
relevant PCB examples
any compact or unusual board-shape examples
any BLE / low-power examples
your toolchain
your timeline
your fee
what you would need from us to begin
whether you can support vendor questions after handoff
NDA / confidentiality
The full design package and technical details will only be shared after NDA with the selected candidate.
Budget
Please quote based on the scope above. We are looking for a serious prototype-ready result, not a superficial layout.
