I will design ruggedized, high reliability pcbs for automotive and defense systems

Standard commercial PCB design workflows fail when applied to automotive and defense hardware. Vehicle engines and aerospace platforms present severe thermal cycles, constant mechanical vibrations, and heavy electromagnetic interference (EMI).

This gig delivers manufacturing-ready PCB designs engineered specifically to withstand these harsh operating conditions. I implement strict IPC Class 3 layout topologies, optimizing trace geometries, power planes, and components to prevent failure under physical stress.

What is included in the engineering workflow:

Schematic Capture: Translating your hardware block diagrams into functional, clean schematics with precise component footprints.

High-Reliability Component Selection: Sourcing automotive-grade (AEC-Q100/Q200) or mil-spec components featuring wide operating temperature ranges.

Impedance Control & Routing: Differential pair routing for high-speed signals, CAN/LIN controllers, and sensor interfaces to eliminate cross-talk.

Thermal Management: Incorporating heavy copper layers, dedicated thermal planes, and via stitching to dissipate heat away from critical power MOSFETs or microcontrollers.
