Wearable PCB with Battery Management
Budget: $50,000 – $100,000 USD
I am building a very small, consumer-facing device and need a production-ready PCB that will slip neatly into a compact enclosure. Space is tight—think wearable footprint—so every millimetre matters.
Core requirements
• Integrate robust battery-management circuitry: charging, protection, and accurate fuel-gauge reporting are a must so the end user sees reliable run-time data.
• Allocate the processing resources needed to run lightweight on-device AI routines. I already have firmware sketches; I simply need the board to provide the right power rails, clock stability, and pin breakout to support them.
No radios or extra environmental sensors are in scope right now, which should simplify the stack and help us meet the size target.
Deliverables I expect from you
• Complete schematic and PCB layout (Altium, KiCad or comparable professional tool)
• Clean Gerber/Drill set, pick-and-place file, and manufacturing notes ready for a prototype run
• Bill of materials with manufacturer part numbers and at least one in-stock distributor for each part
• Basic power-on test plan so I can validate battery and AI sections on first spin
I’m happy to answer mechanical envelope questions and share my draft firmware entry points once we start. If this sounds straightforward to you, let’s get the design locked so I can move to fabrication without delay.
