About this Gig
Does your design need a second set of professional eyes?
Avoid a costly "re-spin" with a technical review. I use my 10+ years of hardware experience to audit your layout for errors that automated tools miss.
The Review Checklist:
- DFM/DFA: Ensuring your board is ready for the factory floor.
- Signal Integrity: Checking impedance and return paths for high-speed nets.
- Power Integrity: Verifying thermal relief and current capacity.
- Footprint Check: Comparing CAD footprints to real-world datasheets.
- BOM Scrub: Finding out-of-stock parts before you order.
The Deliverable:
A clear PDF Technical Report with annotated screenshots and actionable fixes.
Stop guessing and start manufacturing.
Message me with your layout to get started!
FAQ
What do I need to send to start the review?
I need your native CAD files (Altium/KiCad) or a full ODB++/Gerber package. Please also include the schematic (PDF) and the intended layer stackup from your manufacturer.
Can you fix the errors you find?
i provide PDF report for you to fix the issues. If you want me to implement the fixes directly in your CAD file, contact me.
Do you check for EMI/EMC compliance?
Yes. I identify potential radiation loops, shielding gaps, and poor grounding that typically cause failures in the test lab. However, I cannot guarantee a pass without physical lab testing.
Will you check my component footprints?
Yes. I manually verify critical footprints against manufacturer datasheets to ensure the pins, pitch, and pads match the actual physical component.
Why do I need a human review if I have DRC?
Automated Design Rule Checks (DRC) only catch "hard" errors like shorts. They don't catch "soft" errors like poor signal integrity, bad thermal management, or components that are impossible to solder.
