I’m a PCB design | Reverse PCB Design Engineer specializing in reconstructing, analyzing, and improving existing circuit boards when original documentation is missing or incomplete. Over the past 10+ years, I’ve reverse-engineered dozens of commercial products ranging from consumer electronics to industrial controllers helping clients recreate legacy hardware, correct design flaws, and prepare boards for manufacturing.
Work History & Experience
•Rebuilt complete schematic and PCB files from physical boards for multiple clients in the U.S. and Europe
•Successfully reverse-engineered 4-layer and 6-layer RF boards, including WiFi, Bluetooth, and GPS modules
•Restored obsolete industrial control boards where BOM and Gerbers were no longer available
•Converted entire product families from old proprietary boards into modern Altium or KiCad designs
•Helped several startups recover and redesign hardware after losing original engineering teams
•Reverse-designed battery-powered IoT devices, optimizing power paths, charging circuits, and safety features
•Translated raw PCB scans and photos into fully manufacturable Gerber and ODB++ files
•Conducted board validation, corrected routing issues, and improved manufacturability for mass production
•Supported clients in factory communication, DFM review, stack-up selection, and production testing
Core Skills
•PCB reverse engineering (from 1-layer to 8-layer boards)
•Schematic reconstruction from physical PCB
•Net tracing, component identification, and footprint rebuilding
•Recreating BOM with equivalent components
•Altium, KiCad, Eagle, OrCAD
•High-speed and RF routing reconstruction
•Power supply and charger circuit analysis
•Legacy hardware modernization
•EMC/ESD improvement and reliability upgrades
•Gerber recreation for manufacturing
What I Can Deliver
