I want a complete specialized electronic circuit that powers a reusable lighter. The goal is to replicate—or, if necessary, freshly create—the entire circuit so the finished device is: • Compact and portable • Highly durable in daily use • Powered by an onboard, rechargeable battery I already have a clear idea of the form factor and performance I’m after; what I lack are the detailed schematics, PCB layout, and component selection that will ensure reliability and safety. The work should include: 1. Full circuit schematic with all safety features for high-current ignition. 2. PCB layout files ready for manufacturing (Gerber, drill, pick-and-place). 3. Bill of materials with part numbers that are readily sourced. 4. Guidelines for battery charging circuitry and protection. 5. Brief test protocol I can follow to validate the prototype. Drop-in replacements for any proprietary parts are welcome as long as they meet the durability target. I’ll handle enclosure design separately, so focus strictly on the electronics. CAD packages such as Altium Designer, KiCad, or Eagle are fine; just let me know which you’ll use so I can open the files later. If the design meets the size, toughness, and rechargeability criteria and ignites reliably during the test procedure, I’ll consider the project complete.

Hi I am an embedded systems engineer with over 16 years of experience in compact battery powered electronics, high current switching, Li-ion charging/protection, and PCB designs intended for reliable daily use. I can design the complete lighter electronics from schematic through manufacturing files, with attention to safety margins, thermal behavior, component availability, and practical prototype testing. For this project I would prepare the full schematic, PCB layout, Gerbers/drill/PnP files, BOM with sourced part numbers and alternates, charging and battery protection recommendations, and a concise test protocol so you can validate ignition reliability and battery behavior on the first prototype. I normally work in KiCad for this type of project unless you prefer Altium, and I can keep the layout compact around your target form factor. A few details I would confirm before finalizing the design are the available board space, intended battery size/chemistry, preferred ignition method, expected number of ignitions per charge, and any charging connector or USB requirement. I can also support prototype review and firmware/control logic if the final approach needs it. Please contact me to discuss details.

Hi, If you need more than Gerber files — if you need working assembled boards on your desk — I am a strong fit. I combine 14+ years of PCB design and firmware work with real manufacturing experience inside a Shenzhen PCB factory. I previously worked at READA PCB Technology in Shenzhen as a PCB designer, production manager, and manufacturing coordinator. I know how designs are quoted, fabricated, assembled, inspected, and shipped — so I can manage your project from schematic to tested units without losing time between separate vendors. What I can deliver: • Schematic and PCB layout (Altium, KiCAD, or Eagle) • DFM/DFA review before release to production • PCB fabrication and PCBA coordination • Component sourcing and BoM optimization • Functional testing against your test specification • Fast shipping for prototype and small-batch runs I also work with JLCPCB, PCBWay, and Seeed Studio when clients prefer those channels, but my advantage is firsthand factory knowledge from READA and a single point of contact through design, assembly, and debug. I have designed and manufactured IoT controllers, LTE HATs, OBD boards, and mixed-signal embedded products. I can share relevant examples once we connect. Tell me your target quantity, timeline, and whether components are consigned or fully sourced — I will reply with a clear path to first article. Best regards, Ting

Hi, The biggest risk in this project is not creating the schematic—it is designing a compact, rechargeable ignition system that delivers reliable high-voltage performance while maintaining battery safety, electrical protection, and long-term durability in a portable form factor. I have 30 years of experience in PCB design, power electronics, battery-powered devices, embedded systems, and product development from concept through manufacturing. I have worked on compact electronic products requiring efficient power conversion, battery charging circuits, protection systems, and production-ready PCB layouts. For this project, I would focus on: 1. Designing a robust ignition circuit optimized for reliable and repeatable operation. 2. Implementing safe Li-ion battery charging, protection, and power management circuitry. 3. Optimizing PCB layout for compact size, thermal performance, and manufacturability. The goal is to develop a compact, rechargeable, and durable electronic lighter platform that is reliable, safe, and ready for prototype manufacturing. A couple of questions: ✅Do you have target dimensions or space constraints for the PCB? ✅ What battery capacity and expected operating time are required? If you message me, I can outline the most practical architecture, component selection strategy, and PCB design approach for a reliable rechargeable lighter product.
