I will source manage pcb fabrication order from top manufacturers
About this Gig
Have a finished PCB design but don't want to deal with comparing fab houses, decoding specs, or catching costly DFM errors before you order? I manage the sourcing and procurement process so your boards come back correct the first time.
What I handle for you:
- Review your Gerber/fab files for manufacturability issues before you spend money on a bad batch
- Compare pricing, lead time, and capability across fab houses (JLCPCB, PCBWay, OSH Park, Seeed, and others depending on your needs)
- Confirm specs match your design intent: layer count, copper weight, surface finish, board thickness, tolerances
- Handle communication with the fab house on unclear specs or order details
- Track your order and flag any issues before boards ship
Important note on scope: I act as your sourcing agent/liaison I help you get the best fab house, verify specs, and manage the order process. I am not a PCB manufacturer myself and don't hold inventory; boards are fabricated and shipped directly by the manufacturer you choose.

FAQ
Q: Do you manufacture the boards yourself?
A: No — I source and manage the order with established fab houses (JLCPCB, PCBWay, etc.). This is a sourcing/procurement service, not in-house fabrication.
Q: Who pays the fab house directly?
A: For Premium tier, I can place the order on your behalf using your provided budget/payment method, or you place the order directly following my specification sheet — whichever you prefer.
Q: Can you catch errors in my Gerber files before I order?
A: Yes, that's a core part of the Standard and Premium tiers — a DFM (Design for Manufacturing) check to catch issues like missing drill files, incorrect layer stacking, or clearance violations.
Q: What if I don't know which fab house to use?
A: That's exactly what this service solves — send your files and requirements (quantity, layer count, turnaround needed) and I'll compare options and recommend the best fit for your budget and timeline.
