Meet the engineer

Bryan Conner

Owner & Chief Technical Lead

30 years of engineering experience

With 30 years of hands-on engineering experience, Bryan Conner founded Number 5 Engineering to bring deep technical expertise and a builder's mindset to every project — from early-stage concept to finished, field-ready hardware.

Bryan's career spans some of the most demanding domains in electronics engineering: System-on-Chip and FPGA design, high-speed circuit design, PCBA layout, High Performance Computing, Edge Computing, Software Defined Radio, Radar systems, and Digital Signal Processing. That breadth means he can architect a complete solution — not just one layer of it.

He founded Number 5 Engineering on a simple belief: that small teams and growing companies deserve the same caliber of engineering talent that large defense and tech firms take for granted. Every engagement is led personally by Bryan, ensuring the technical depth and attention to detail that complex projects demand.

When you work with Number 5 Engineering, you work directly with Bryan — no hand-offs, no junior engineers running your project. Just 30 years of experience applied to your problem.

Number 5 Engineering operates out of a 3,000 square foot facility east of Colorado Springs, Colorado — fully equipped to take projects from early prototyping through production-ready assembly.
