  • As it stands, that would probably be [off-topic](https://electrical.codidact.com/help/topics) here, even if the question comes with a very detailed specification. And even though picking one _is_ quite qualified work that requires an experienced engineer.

  • For general PCB reviews focusing on manufacturing and BoM improvements, such questions could be OK here though - see [Are BOM cost optimization questions on-topic?](https://electrical.codidact.com/posts/278136)
