PCB Designer Wanted – Early OBD to OBDII Adapter Development Attempt Number 2
Budget: $30 – $250 AUD
(Applicants from select countries will not be considered – see below)
I am seeking a highly skilled and experienced PCB designer to develop a compact, standards-compliant adapter board that bridges early OBD or OBD-I automotive systems with OBD-II diagnostic tools.
Project Scope
Design a small, durable PCB adapter to facilitate protocol translation between Early/OBDI and OBDII systems.
The adapter must support voltage level shifting, signal mapping, and potentially protocol bridging (e.g., Ford EEC-IV PWM to ISO9141 or CAN).
The board should follow automotive-grade design principles (vibration resistance, temperature tolerance, etc.).
Requirements
Strong experience in automotive electronics and diagnostics (OBD systems a major plus).
Expertise in PCB design using tools like Altium Designer, KiCad, or similar.
Familiarity with legacy diagnostic protocols (ALDL, EEC-IV, Toyota DLC1, etc.) and standard OBD-II protocols (CAN, ISO 9141, KWP2000, SAE J1850).
Ability to deliver:
Schematics and PCB layout
BOM and Gerber files
(Optional) Firmware for microcontroller-based solutions
Simulation/testing reports or prototype verification
How to Apply
All candidates must apply manually and provide:
A short proposal describing relevant experience
Portfolio or examples of similar PCB designs or automotive work
Your professional qualifications or certifications (if applicable)
Applicant Restrictions
For compliance and project integrity reasons, applications will not be accepted from individuals or teams based in the following countries:
❌ Pakistan ❌ Bangladesh ❌ China ❌ India ❌ Russia ❌ Kazakhstan
