PROJECT UPDATE - ADDED SENSOR: I am adding an ambient light (Lux) sensor to the hardware requirements. Please include 1x ams OSRAM TSL2591. Because the device uses a dark smoked glass top, this specific dual-diode sensor is required so we can mathematically filter out IR bleed and get accurate visible light readings for the room. Project Overview I am seeking a senior hardware engineer to design a professional, 4-layer, double-sided PCB for a high-performance travel IoT device. This device acts as an IR blaster, local AI audio monitor (for volume/occupancy), and environmental sensor. Completion Criteria: This is a turnkey electrical project. The project is considered complete only after I have physically tested the manufactured boards and validated that all sensors, voice features, and power circuits work as specified. Core Hardware Specifications MCU: ESP32-S3-WROOM-1U-N16R8 (16MB Flash / 8MB PSRAM). Antenna: [login to view URL] connector for external flex-film antenna. Dimensions: Strict 18mm x 35mm footprint. Storage: Molex 104031-0811 MicroSD socket (Push-pull). Sensors: Bosch BME690 (AQI/Temp) and 2x TDK MMICT5838-00-012 (Bottom-ported I2S Mics). IR LEDs: 1x Top-firing and 1x Side-firing right-angle (940nm, high-power). Expansion Port: 1x JST-SH 1.0mm 4-pin port. M5Stack/Grove compatible: Pin 1: GND, Pin 2: 5V (tolerant), Pin 3: SDA, Pin 4: SCL. Power: Mid-mount USB-C plug (sunk into PCB to minimize total Z-height for an 8mm enclosure goal). Privacy/UI: 1x Physical Slide Switch (to hardware-disconnect power to the mics) and 1x WS2812B-2020 RGB LED for status feedback. Control: 2x micro SMD tactile buttons (BOOT/RESET). Engineering & Audio Requirements Acoustic Pathing: Design proper unplated through-holes (min 0.5mm) for the bottom-ported MEMS microphones. Mics must be placed at opposite ends of the 35mm length to optimize Acoustic Echo Cancellation (AEC). Thermal Logic: The BME690 must be thermally isolated from the ESP32 and LDO via PCB cutouts/milled slots to ensure accurate ambient temperature readings. Power Design: N-Channel MOSFET drivers for IR LEDs powered directly from the 5V line for maximum range. Layout: 4-layer stackup with a dedicated ground plane. Components must be placed on both sides to achieve the minimalist footprint. Manufacturing Deliverables (The "Easy-Order" Package) The engineer must provide a complete manufacturing folder designed for seamless "one-click" ordering via providers like PCBWay or JLCPCB: Design Files: Native CAD (KiCad or Altium) and Schematics. Production Files: Gerbers (RS-274X or X2), NC Drill, and Centroid/Pick-and-Place files with correct part rotations for automated SMT. BOM: CSV/Excel file mapped to active LCSC or DigiKey part numbers. 3D Model: A high-fidelity .STEP file of the fully populated PCB. This is critical for future enclosure development. Documentation: A brief pin-mapping guide (PDF/Markdown) for firmware development. Application & Bidding Rules To be considered, you must begin your proposal with the exact phrase: "Turnkey 18x35". No Placeholder Bids: I expect a firm, realistic quote for the full scope (EE + ME). Do not bid a low price simply to open a chat and ask for my budget. Experience: Preference given to engineers with a portfolio of sub-25mm dense IoT devices and experience with M5Stack or the Espressif speech-recognition framework.

Turnkey 18x35. Dear Client, This is not a normal compact ESP32 board. At 18mm × 35mm, the success of this device will come from how well PCB layout, acoustic pathing, thermal isolation, RF, IR drive, USB-C height, SD access, and enclosure constraints are solved together. I can help turn this into a true easy-order hardware package, not just a routed PCB. My approach would be: ✅ lock the 4-layer PCB architecture around ESP32-S3, external antenna, MicroSD, BME690, dual MEMS microphones, IR LEDs, USB-C, Grove port, buttons, and RGB LED ✅ handle the small but critical details: mic acoustic holes, thermal cutouts for BME690, MOSFET IR drive, RF keep-out, bottom/top-side placement, and assembly-friendly component choices ✅ provide manufacturing files, BOM with active part numbers, high-quality populated STEP model, and enclosure files for CNC, SLA, and FDM versions For this project, I would focus on making the board and enclosure behave like one product. One question before starting: Do you want the enclosure design driven primarily by the CNC aluminum version first, or should all three versions evolve together? If you message me, I can outline the cleanest milestone plan for EE + enclosure so the first build is not just compact, but testable and manufacturable. Best regards, Prat PCB Must Innovations
