Freelance PCB Layout Specialist (IoT/RF)

TIGER Mobility is a patent-pending, pre-seed startup developing a next-generation connected vehicle platform. We are in the prototyping phase of our core hardware device, the TIGER-TAG, and we are looking for a highly skilled and experienced freelance PCB Layout Specialist to partner with our Lead Embedded Engineer.

You will be responsible for taking a completed, professionally designed schematic and creating a manufacturable, high-quality, multi-layer PCB layout. This is a critical, short-term project that requires a high degree of precision and expertise.

Your Deliverable:

• A complete set of 

  Gerber files

   and all associated manufacturing outputs for a complex, 4- or 6-layer =PCB, based on a schematic and a detailed set of design constraints provided by our engineering lead.

Core Technical Requirements & Challenges:

• Mixed-Signal Design:

   The board contains a mix of digital, analog, and RF components.

• RF Layout Expertise:

   The design includes a modern SoC with integrated Wi-Fi/Bluetooth and a separate cellular module. You must have proven experience with 

  RF layout best practices

  , including creating controlled impedance traces and proper grounding/shielding to ensure signal integrity.

• High-Density Layout:

   This is a compact device, so the ability to route in a dense, multi-layer environment is essential.

• Sensor Isolation:

   You must follow strict design rules to isolate noise-sensitive analog sensors (like an IMU and GPS) from noisy digital and power components.

• Power Management Layout:

   Experience with laying out switching power supplies (PMICs) and ensuring clean power distribution is required.

Your Qualifications (The Must-Haves):

• 5+ years of professional experience as a dedicated PCB Layout Designer.

• A strong portfolio showcasing previous multi-layer PCB designs

  , especially those involving RF or wireless components (e.g., Wi-Fi, Cellular, GPS).
• Expert-level proficiency in a professional PCB design tool, preferably 

  Altium Designer

   or 

  KiCad

  .
• A deep understanding of Design for Manufacturing (DFM) principles to ensure your layout can be reliably and cost-effectively produced by Indian fabrication houses.
• Excellent communication skills and the ability to work collaboratively with a lead engineer to review and iterate on the design.

A Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) will be required before the final schematic and project details are shared. We are moving quickly and are looking to engage a specialist immediately. We look forward to seeing your work.
