Mixed SMD Sensor Module Design
Budget: ₹1,500 – ₹12,500 INR
I have already chosen the core components for a compact mixed-signal board that will consolidate several sensors—a barometric pressure sensor, a nine-axis IMU, a GPS/GNSS receiver, and a simple power-status monitor—into one surface-mount module along with a controller chip. Your task is to translate those parts into a complete schematic, turn the design into an SMD-friendly PCB, and run thorough simulations so I can be confident in its behaviour before we move to prototypes.
The board’s sole purpose is sensor integration, so clean routing between the analogue front-end, digital lines, and any required power-conditioning blocks is critical. I’m comfortable if you work in Altium, KiCad, or another mainstream CAD package, as long as the final files are ready for fabrication and the simulations (SPICE-based or equivalent) clearly show signal integrity, power rail stability, and noise margins.
Deliverables
• Finished schematic and annotated BOM
• PCB layout (Gerbers, ODB++, fabrication notes)
• Simulation project with results reports and screenshots
• Brief hand-off document highlighting test points, expected voltages, and any layout constraints
If you have recent experience combining RF-level GPS, precision pressure sensing, and motion IMUs on a single mixed-signal board, you’ll be able to hit the ground running. I’m happy to answer component-specific questions once the project starts; everything else should be handled autonomously up to first-pass review.
