Can you recommend a PCB designer?
Did anyone have a good experience and can vouch for their service provider?
I need help with taking a single-board computer (an existing open-source hardware project), converting from Eagle, removing unneeded components, and exporting KiCad/BOM that are ready to send to Eurocircuits/PCBWay/JLCPCB. Of course, the modified design would also be published under an open-source hardware license.
EDIT: Just saw that PCBWay offers design services. [1]

Out of curiosity, which SBC? Helios4 / Helios64 by any chance?
One gotcha could be that if some of the specified components aren't available (or, worse yet, EOL'd with no pin-compatible replacement), that could would necessitate more PCB work.
This is coming from someone who is annoyed at ESD441 being out of stock at LCSC and Digikey.
HN seems to be a really funny place for this question. You do not see many “Can anybody recommend a JS developer?” style questions here and monthly “Who is hiring” thread seems more appropriate for this.
Disclaimer: am professionally a PCB designer/EE for last 22 years.
JLCPCB.
I got my pcb sample, 5 pcbs + assembly (had to make sure all components are in their library)
How many days ?
including shipping 6 days from order to delivery!!! cost ~250$
They are unbeatable!!
I've used Embedded Engineering Solutions, www.eesaz.com, for several projects here in AZ. They've done quality work at a fair price.
If the modified will be open-source would you be willing to outline goals of the project on github or gitlab? I'd be happy to take a look. been a while since I've done PCB work I mostly do asic/fpga design now, but depending on the scope I could possibly help.
I've had decent luck with random people on Fiverr, of all things...
Hey, if it helps, We had a need for a consumer-focused product based on the ESP32 that I work with every day, and can vouch for DeepSeaDev. Were able to do the work and provide the IP.
JLCPCB also offers some services. Also, it's fairly easy to learn Easy EDA, especially if you leave the PCB layout to JLCPCB.
Seeed Studio also does custom CM4 designs. They might be an option.
I have one that analyze the PCB design and prepare the line to onboard the elements.
Finding professionals is a reason to use LinkedIn. Good luck.
