Experience

  • PCB Design Engineer Sydney · Freelance May 2024 – Dec 2024 7 mos United States As a Freelance PCB Design Engineer, I design high-quality, manufacturing-ready printed circuit boards for startups, businesses, researchers, and hardware developers. I specialize in transforming electronic concepts into reliable PCB layouts optimized for performance, manufacturability, and cost efficiency.

    My expertise includes schematic capture, single-layer, double-layer, and multilayer PCB design, component selection, PCB routing, Design Rule Checks (DRC), Design for Manufacturing (DFM), and generating complete production files, including Gerber, BOM, and Pick & Place files.

    I work with industry-standard tools such as Altium Designer, KiCad, EasyEDA, and Eagle CAD to develop PCB solutions for IoT devices, embedded systems, consumer electronics, robotics, industrial automation, power electronics, and prototype development.

    Key Responsibilities:
    • Design professional PCB layouts from schematics
    • Create accurate schematic diagrams
    • Generate Gerber, BOM, Pick & Place, and manufacturing files
    • Optimize PCB layouts for signal integrity and EMI/EMC considerations
    • Perform DRC and DFM validation
    • Select suitable electronic components
    • Redesign and improve existing PCB designs
    • Collaborate with clients to deliver reliable, production-ready hardware solutions

    Skills: PCB Design, PCB Layout, Schematic Capture, Altium Designer, KiCad, EasyEDA, Eagle CAD, Gerber Generation, DFM, DRC, Embedded Systems, IoT Hardware, Electronics Design, Hardware Development, PCB Routing, Prototype Development.
