Project summary
I am looking for a PCB designer to take the information that is provided and:
- Create a Kicad schematic
- Create a PCB layout from the schematic
- Produce all files required for PCB production (Gerber, etc)
- Document the process for creating PCB production files from Kicad
The output will be:
- Kicad files containing the schematic and PCB design
- PCB production files
Schematic
The circuit design is quite simple. Connections are represented by matching names.
The circuit adds some components to an Espressif ESP Thread Border Router eval board.
[Link]
The Espressif board will be mounted under this PCB and mate via two connectors on the bottom. All other
components are mounted to the top of this PCB.

Mechanical PCB Layout
Notes:
- Dimensions in Inches
- Positions to Pin 1 of each component are X, Y coordinates. The bottom left of the PCB is
considered to be 0,0. The grid shown in the diagram is spaced at 0.1” x 0.1”
- All plated-through holes sized for headers. Hole diameter: 0.8–1.0 mm
- All header pin 1 positions shall have a square pad
- PCB is 2.6” x 2.5”
