PCB Design — Formula Student Brief

I independently completed a Formula Student electrical recruitment brief in KiCad, laying out a PCB for a three-stage analog signal-conditioning circuit: amplifier, band-pass filter, and comparator.

I routed every trace manually rather than leaning on the autorouter. On an analog signal chain that is the right call — trace length and return path placement affect the signal in ways an autorouter optimising purely for connection does not account for.

The board passed both ERC and DRC checks with no functional errors.
