Project Overview We are looking for an experienced PCB designer to develop a compact production ready DC-DC boost converter PCB for our RC product lineup. The PCB size is fixed and must match our existing RC chassis mounting system. The board will take input from a single 3.7V 18650 Li-ion battery and boost it to a stable constant 12V output capable of driving either BO motors or N20 motors continuously without major voltage drop under load. This is intended for mass production, so the design must be reliable, cost optimized, manufacturable, and use easily available components. The final design must be fully production ready and suitable for commercial manufacturing. PCB Size and Mechanical Constraints PCB dimensions are fixed: 60mm x 38mm All components must be placed only on the top side of the PCB. The placement of JST connectors and capacitor positions are fixed to match our existing RC chassis and locking system. Please strictly follow the provided coordinates and orientations. PCB Functional Requirements Main Function Input: Single 3.7V 18650 Li-ion battery Output: Stable constant 12V DC output The board should: • Boost 3.7V battery voltage to regulated 12V • Maintain stable output voltage under motor load • Power 2 DC motors continuously • Power 2 external 3V LEDs • Turn ON and OFF using an external switch connected through JST connector • LEDs should turn ON immediately when PCB is powered • Motors should start running immediately when PCB is powered Connectors and Fixed Positions JST Connector Details Connector Part Number: B2B-XH-A(LF)(SN) All connectors are through hole type. Capacitor Placement Constraints We currently have locking structures in our RC chassis based on capacitor positions from our old PCB. You may use 2 or 3 capacitors as needed for the design, but please place them within the following locations as much as possible. Maintaining similar capacitor size is preferred. Capacitor Footprint: Capacitor_SMD:CP_Elec_8x11.9 Capacitor Part Number: JVE16V470M8X10 Motor Specifications The designer must properly calculate current requirements and select suitable ICs, inductors, capacitors, and track widths. BO Motor Specifications Operating Voltage: 3V to 12V No Load Current: 40mA to 180mA Rated Speed: 60 RPM Rated Torque: 1 kg·cm N20 Motor Specifications Operating Voltage: 6V to 12V Rated Voltage: 12V Rated Speed: 60 RPM Stall Current: 0.75A Rated Torque: 0.97 kg·cm Stall Torque: 3.0 kg·cm Design Requirements Important Requirements • Output voltage must remain stable at 12V under motor load • Avoid major voltage drop during startup or load changes • Use proper inductors and efficient boost converter IC • Track widths must support required motor current safely • Design must be suitable for long term operation • Use low cost and easily available components • Manufacturing cost target for PCB assembly should remain below Rs.100 if possible • Avoid expensive or difficult to source components • Design should be optimized for mass production • Use proper grounding and power routing practices • Thermal performance should be considered • All SMD components should be placed on top side only Deliverables Required The freelancer must provide all production files required for manufacturing. Required files: • Complete schematic design • PCB layout design • Editable KiCad project files • Gerber files • Drill files • BOM • Pick and Place files • 3D PCB files • PDF schematics • PCB fabrication outputs • Assembly files • Any additional files required for manufacturing Workflow Requirement Step 1: Designer must first create and share schematic design for approval. Step 2: Only after schematic approval should PCB layout design begin. Preferred Skills Looking for a designer experienced in: • DC-DC boost converter design • Power electronics • Battery powered PCB systems • KiCad PCB design • High current PCB routing • Manufacturing ready PCB development • Cost optimized electronics design Additional Notes This PCB must fit inside our existing RC product enclosure, so connector and capacitor placement accuracy is very important. The design should be clean, practical, and production ready, not just a prototype level design. Please share previous similar power supply or boost converter PCB work while applying.

I read your brief for the compact boost converter PCB and I have to say, this is exactly the kind of challenge I love diving into. With six years of hands-on experience designing power electronics and building custom PCBs from scratch, I feel genuinely confident I can deliver something that meets your size and performance targets. I recently completed a solar-powered water vending machine project where I had to design a highly efficient boost converter for a remote off-grid deployment, so tight thermal and electrical constraints are something I deal with daily. I can handle the full scope from schematic capture and layout through to prototyping and shipping you a working board.

Hello, Your project is very interesting and matches my experience in power electronics, battery-powered systems, and production-ready PCB development. I understand that this is not just a prototype boost converter — the PCB must be reliable, compact, thermally stable, cost optimized, and fully suitable for mass production inside an existing RC chassis. I can design a robust 3.7V to stable 12V DC-DC boost converter PCB optimized specifically for continuous motor operation with minimal voltage drop during startup and load changes. I will carefully calculate the power stage, current handling, inductor selection, capacitor sizing, thermal performance, and PCB trace widths to ensure stable operation for both BO motors and N20 motors. Deliverables will include: * Complete schematic and PCB layout * Editable KiCad files * Gerbers, drill, BOM, Pick & Place * 3D PCB files * Manufacturing and assembly outputs * PDF schematics and fabrication files I am committed to delivering a practical, production-ready design that fits your enclosure accurately and performs reliably in real RC operating conditions.
