Compact BLE Device PCB Design Project

Budget: $250 - $750

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.
