Battery-Powered Wireless / IoT PCB

Low-power connected hardware for ESP32, nRF52, LoRa, USB-C and LiPo-based products.

Battery-Powered Wireless / IoT PCB: illustrative engineering service overview
Concept illustration of the service scope.
A defined engagement

Where I can help.

I design connected hardware around the product’s radio, power and interface requirements. The scope can include ESP32 or nRF52 systems, LoRa connectivity, USB-C charging, LiPo power paths and RF-aware PCB implementation. Power budgeting and the mechanical envelope are defined early, alongside the selected module’s layout requirements.

Who this is for

Teams developing portable connected devices, battery-powered sensor products, wireless control hardware or custom ESP32 and nRF52 boards.

What I handle

  • Radio and power architecture
  • Charging and current-budget planning
  • RF-aware placement and routing
  • Antenna keep-outs and grounding strategy

Deliverables

  • Schematic and PCB files
  • Manufacturing package
  • Power notes and DFM checklist
Scope boundary

Laboratory RF tuning, firmware, compliance testing and guaranteed range or battery life are not included.

Before we begin

Useful questions.
Clear answers.

Can you design a custom ESP32-S3 or nRF52840 PCB?

Yes, subject to the agreed requirements and scope. The portfolio includes an ESP32-S3 Smart GST Calculator and an nRF52840 navigation board. Share the interfaces, radio requirements, dimensions and power source for your product.

Can the design include USB-C charging and a LiPo battery?

Yes. Charging, power-path decisions and the supply rails can be included in the hardware scope. Battery selection and current budgeting depend on your loads, operating modes and mechanical constraints.

Can you guarantee wireless range or battery life?

No. Real range and battery life depend on the enclosure, environment, antenna, operating modes and firmware. Hardware architecture and layout support those goals, but measured performance requires appropriate testing.

Are RF tuning and compliance testing included?

Laboratory RF tuning, certification testing and compliance management are separate activities. This service focuses on the schematic, PCB implementation and manufacturing documentation described in the agreed brief.
