I am looking for an electronics engineer to design a small battery-powered IoT sensor PCB based on the ESP32-C3. The goal is to create a compact prototype PCB capable of monitoring environmental conditions and communicating wirelessly through Wi-Fi/Bluetooth. Main Requirements: The PCB should include the following: * ESP32-C3 module * BME280 temperature, humidity and pressure sensor * Ambient light sensor * Sound sensor/microphone input * 0.96" I2C OLED display * Li-ion battery connector * Li-ion battery charging circuit * USB-C connector for charging and power * 3.3 V voltage regulation * Power ON/OFF switch * User push button * Status LED * GPIO expansion header * Required protection and decoupling components Power The board will be powered by a single-cell Li-ion battery. The USB-C connector should be used to: * Charge the battery * Power the board when connected to USB The design should include appropriate power-path considerations, battery protection where required, and low-power design practices. Communication The sensors and OLED display should communicate with the ESP32-C3 using I2C where appropriate. The ESP32-C3 will provide: * Wi-Fi connectivity * Bluetooth/BLE connectivity * Sensor data processing * OLED display control PCB Design Requirements: The board should preferably be a 4-layer PCB and should be reasonably compact. Pay particular attention to: * ESP32 antenna keep-out area * Ground plane * Power routing * Decoupling capacitor placement * I2C routing * USB-C routing * Battery charging section * Separation of noisy and sensitive circuits * Component placement * Manufacturability The PCB should be suitable for fabrication by a low-cost PCB manufacturer. Deliverables The selected freelancer should provide: 1. Complete KiCad schematic 2. Complete PCB layout 3. ERC-clean schematic 4. DRC-clean PCB 5. Gerber files 6. BOM 7. Pick-and-place/CPL file 8. Complete editable KiCad project 9. Basic design documentation I am looking for someone who can produce a clean, organized and manufacturable design. Experience with ESP32, KiCad, Li-ion battery circuits and PCB layout is preferred

Hello, I’m an electronics/embedded systems engineer with experience in **ESP32-based hardware, KiCad PCB design, power management and embedded systems**, and I’d be very interested in designing this IoT sensor board. I understand the project requires more than simply connecting the components — the board needs to be compact, low-power, manufacturable and properly designed around the ESP32-C3 RF and the Li-ion power system. I can deliver: * Complete KiCad schematic with proper power architecture * ESP32-C3 integration with Wi-Fi/BLE * BME280, ambient light and microphone/sound sensing interfaces * I2C OLED display interface * Li-ion battery charging and power-path design * USB-C charging and power input * 3.3 V regulation I’ll pay particular attention to **component placement, return-current paths, decoupling, regulator/charger layout, USB-C routing and the ESP32-C3 antenna region**, since these are critical for a reliable IoT prototype. Before starting the layout, I would review the exact ESP32-C3 module, battery specifications, required charging current, sensor/microphone requirements and preferred board dimensions so the power architecture and component selection are correct from the beginning. I can provide a clean, organized KiCad project that is ready for fabrication and easy for another engineer to modify later. I’m available to start immediately and can discuss the board dimensions and component choices with you before beginning the schematic.

Hello, I’m interested in taking your IoT Sensor PCB project from design review to a reliable, production-ready board. My experience covers embedded hardware, sensor integration, I2C/SPI, MCU-based systems, power design, PCB layout, debugging, BOM optimization, and DFM/DFT. I will focus on the details that matter in a real product: reliable sensor communication, correct I2C implementation, power integrity, protection, grounding, component availability, testing, and manufacturability. If you already have a schematic or PCB, I can review it, identify potential issues, and provide practical corrections rather than simply redrawing the board. I’m ready to start with your existing design files. Best regards,

Hi We are available to take this on and get your ESP32-C3 IoT sensor PCB working perfectly. The main issue with partially built hardware designs is usually the power routing or antenna keep-outs not lining up for compact boards specifically. Are you planning to use a 4-layer stackup for better noise reduction and do you want the sensor data displayed with custom page toggles or as a continuous scroll on the OLED? We recently fixed a similar IoT sensor layout for a hardware firm that needed environmental telemetry injected into custom enclosures. I used KiCad to route the I2C bus and built a robust power-path management system before using the BME280 and ESP32-C3 modules to update the telemetry readings. I corrected their schematic and layout structure to ensure the antenna keep-out area actually worked across low-cost fabrication houses. My fix stopped their wireless packets from dropping during battery operation and made the whole prototyping process way faster for their team. We are eager to discuss the project further. Reach out to initiate a conversation! Best regards, Quantum Code Solutions
