PCB Design Engineer — Contract (Hourly) — ESP32-C3 Motor Controller Product Line

About the project

We're building a product line of ESP32-C3 based devices — controllers, receivers, and sensor units — communicating over ESP-NOW, and moving into production. Firmware is already built in-house. We're looking for a PCB design contractor to own the hardware side — designing the production carrier board around a pre-certified ESP32-C3 module — with room for ongoing work as the product line expands.

Scope of work

- Schematic capture for a carrier board around an ESP32-C3 module (no custom

RF/antenna design needed — module handles that)
- Motor driver circuit integration and trace/copper sizing for motor current
- Power regulation (buck/LDO) and decoupling

- Connector and mounting layout
- Generate fab-ready Gerbers/BOM/pick-and-place files for JLCPCB or PCBWay

- DFM review for manufacturability




- Revisions based on review feedback

Requirements

- ~2–3 years of hands-on PCB design experience (schematic + layout)
- Proficiency in KiCad (preferred) or Altium
- Has designed and had boards actually fabricated (JLCPCB/PCBWay or similar) —

not just simulation/coursework
- Comfortable sizing copper/traces for motor driver current, not just default

widths
- Can work independently from a rough requirements doc + reference schematics

Nice to have

- Experience with ESP32/ESP8266 or similar microcontroller carrier boards
- Familiarity with DFM for manufacturability (JLCPCB assembly service, etc.)

Contract details

- Type: Hourly, contract/freelance
- Rate: ₹200–250/hr

- Location: Remote
- Deliverables: Schematic, PCB layout files, Gerbers, BOM, brief design notes
- Growth potential: Ongoing work available as the product line scales
