KiCad electronics design review. Parse schematics and PCB layouts, run EMC pre-compliance and SPICE simulation, extract structured specs from datasheet PDFs, source components from major distributors, and prep boards for fabrication. Catches real design bugs before you order.

Generate JLCPCB-ready KiCad PCB projects from descriptions, BOMs, or existing projects. Sources LCSC parts (basic-tier preferred), generates schematics, and packages routed boards into Gerber/drill/CPL/BOM zips ready to upload to JLCPCB.

Hardware / electronics engineering team — agents (hardware-systems-architect, pcb-design-engineer) for the BOARD embedded firmware runs on: architecture & build-vs-buy (module vs custom PCB), MCU/component selection + supply-aware BOM, power architecture (LDO-vs-switcher, budgets), schematic capture, PCB layout (stack-up, impedance, decoupling, grounding), signal & power integrity, DFM/DFA/DFT, and bring-up. skills (scope-a-hardware-design, select-components-and-bom, review-schematic-and-layout), a knowledge bank (a Mermaid module-vs-custom-PCB tree + a dated 2026 EDA/fab/compliance reference), best-practices. ENGINEERING decision-support, not a certification/safety-sign-off authority; component specs, fab/DFM rules, and regulatory thresholds are volatile + vendor/jurisdiction-specific, retrieval-dated + verify-at-use; datasheets read at the operating point. Distinct from embedded-iot-engineering (firmware) and robotics-autonomous-systems-engineering. Requires ravenclaude-core@>=0.7.0.
