About this Gig
Gig Description:
One wrong footprint or missed rule can waste a whole batch of boards. Before you pay a fabrication house, let a second expert pair of eyes find the mistakes first. I check your schematic and layout line by line for errors, review the manufacturing rules, then suggest ways to make the board smaller, cooler, and cheaper to build.
WHAT I CHECK:
- Schematic errors and pin conflicts
- Footprints against datasheets
- Power rails, decoupling and trace current
- Clearance, creepage and thermal paths
- DFM and Gerber files for fabrication
- Test points and assembly markings
WHAT YOU RECEIVE:
- Issue list ranked by risk
- A clear fix for every problem
- Optimization tips for cost and size
REVIEWS I DO:
- pcb design review
- pcb layout review
- schematic review
- schematic check
- dfm check pcb
- gerber review
- bom review
- pcb error check
- pcb audit
- emi emc pcb review
- thermal pcb review
- power pcb review
- pcb optimization
WHY SEND IT TO ME:
- Power electronics experience
- Plain language report
- Fast replies
START HERE:
Send your schematic, layout and Gerber files and tell me what the board must do. I will tell you straight what to fix before you order.
FAQ
What do I need to send you?
Send your schematic as a PDF or the source file, your layout files, and the Gerber files if you have them. Add a short note on what the board must do, its voltage and current, and any problems you already know about.
Will you fix the board or only review it?
The review finds the problems and tells you exactly how to fix each one. If you want me to make the corrections in the design too, message me before ordering and I will give you a separate quote.
What kinds of boards can you review?
I review power electronics boards such as solar, inverter and motor control designs, and also IoT, wearable and industrial control boards. For RF, high speed or very dense boards, message me first so I can confirm the review will be a good fit.
Will my design files stay private?
Yes. I treat every file as confidential and use it only for your review. I do not share it or reuse it.
How do I know which package to choose?
Choose Basic if you only want the schematic checked, Standard if the board is ready for layout and manufacturing checks, and Premium if you are about to order boards and want the full report. If you are unsure, send me a message and I will recommend one.
