Hi, This project is a great match for my experience with ESP32, KiCad, PCB design, power management, sensors, and motor-control hardware. I have 10+ years of hands-on experience taking embedded hardware from schematic to production-ready PCB. I understand you already have the firmware, GPIO/I²C mapping, and module library ready, so I can focus on validating the architecture, creating the complete mainboard schematic, and routing the PCB cleanly around your existing blocks. I’ll pay particular attention to the 48/24 V power sections, BTS7960 motor drivers, separate I²C buses, shared SPI routing, analog sensor signals, grounding, thermal areas, and connector accessibility. You’ll receive the complete KiCad project, schematic, PCB layout, BOM, Gerbers, drill files, and required footprints/3D models, following your existing library and design rules. I can start immediately and will keep the design structured so future revisions are easy to manage.

Hi, I am an embedded systems engineer with over 16 years of experience designing ESP32-based control electronics and taking consumer products from concept through production, including PCB layout, bring-up, and firmware support. I can turn your prepared KiCad libraries and documented pin mapping into a complete two-layer mainboard, first validating the schematic and power architecture, then laying out the mixed-signal, motor-control, SPI, and dual-I2C sections with careful attention to grounding, noise, thermal placement, connectors, and serviceability. I will deliver the complete KiCad project, reusable schematic/footprint/3D blocks, Gerbers, drill files, and BOM, with final design-rule and manufacturing checks. One important point to confirm: will the PCB carry the 48V/24V rails directly, or only control external isolated relay modules? I would be glad to discuss the design details and review your existing library and documentation.
