Engineer for Bluetooth-Controlled Motorized Stroller

Job ID: 39199878

Budget: $1,500 – $3,000 USD

Electronics Engineer Needed for Smart Motorized Stroller System

We are looking for an experienced electronics engineer to develop a motorized assistance system for baby strollers. The goal is to create a compact and efficient motor-driven system that helps parents push the stroller uphill, maintains stability on downhill slopes, and includes an automatic rocking feature when stationary. The system should be controlled via a Bluetooth-connected mobile app.

Requirements:

Motor and Drive System

A motorized mechanism that assists in pushing and slows the stroller when needed.

Optimized power and torque for smooth operation.

Integrated braking and speed control.


Electronics & Control

Microcontroller-based control system (ESP32, Arduino, or similar).

Sensors for detecting slope and movement (gyroscope, accelerometer).

Bluetooth module for communication with a smartphone app.

Rechargeable lithium-ion battery with USB-C or standard charging.


Smart Features

Automatic adjustment of motor assistance based on terrain.

Manual or automatic rocking mode when the stroller is stationary.

App-based control for assistance intensity and rocking speed.

Safety mechanism to disable the motor when hands are removed from the handlebar.



Deliverables:

Complete electronic design (schematics & PCB layout).

Firmware for the microcontroller.

Prototype ready for real-world testing.

Documentation for assembly and manufacturing.


Ideal Candidate:

Experience with motor control, IoT devices, and Bluetooth connectivity.

Knowledge of ESP32, Arduino, or similar microcontroller platforms.

Experience with battery management and power-efficient designs.

Ability to deliver a functional prototype within a reasonable timeframe.


If you're interested, please send your portfolio, a brief technical approach, and an estimated timeline for the prototype development.
