What we do
Engineering services built for every stage
From initial schematic to finished assembly, Number 5 Engineering delivers end-to-end electronics expertise under one roof.
Precision layouts from prototype to production
PCB Design & Fabrication
We design and fabricate printed circuit boards for a wide range of applications — from two layer prototypes to complex multi-layer production boards. Our engineers work closely with your team to optimize signal integrity, thermal management, and manufacturability from day one.
Start a projectCapabilities
- Schematic capture & design review
- Multi-layer PCB layout (up to 28 layers)
- High-speed & RF board design
- Design for Manufacturability (DFM) analysis
- Prototype fabrication & rapid turnaround
- Gerber file generation & fab house coordination
Custom logic for microcontrollers, SoCs, and FPGAs
Embedded Systems & Firmware
Our firmware team develops robust, efficient code for the full spectrum of embedded targets — from bare-metal microcontrollers to complex SoCs and programmable logic devices. We build real-time systems that are reliable, maintainable, and optimized for your hardware.
Start a projectCapabilities
- Bare-metal & RTOS firmware development
- FPGA design & HDL programming (VHDL / Verilog)
- SoC integration & Linux BSP development
- Communication protocols (SPI, I2C, UART, CAN, USB, Ethernet)
- Hardware abstraction layers & driver development
- Bootloader design & secure firmware update (OTA)
From BOM to boxed product
Contract Manufacturing & Assembly
We manage the full manufacturing lifecycle — sourcing components, coordinating assembly, and performing quality verification so you receive a finished, tested product. Whether you need a handful of prototypes or a production run, we scale to meet your volume.
Start a projectCapabilities
- SMT & through-hole PCB assembly
- Component sourcing & BOM management
- In-circuit testing (ICT) & functional test
- Conformal coating & potting
- Box-build & system integration
- Production scaling from prototype to volume
How we work
A straightforward process designed to keep your project on track.
Discovery & Scoping
We start with a deep-dive into your requirements, constraints, and goals to define a clear project scope.
Design & Prototyping
Our engineers produce schematics, layouts, and firmware, then build and test working prototypes.
Validation & Testing
Rigorous testing against your specifications before any production commitment.
Production & Delivery
Coordinated manufacturing, assembly, and quality verification — delivered on schedule.
