Schematic & Architecture
We map out complex electrical architectures and calculate tight power budgets, selecting production-grade components early to eliminate supply-chain dead ends and costly mid-project redesigns.
Hardware engineering for connected products
Hardware Engineering & Product Development Services.
Electrical engineering, custom PCB design, and a clear path to manufacturing handoff.
Hardware is unforgiving. Making one prototype is hard; making thousands is harder. NAK owns the entire transition from initial schematic architecture to production-ready electronics—validating your design and reducing engineering risk so you can scale with fewer surprises.

Manufacturing handoff
What we build
FROM SCHEMATIC TO SHIPPABLE DEVICE.
High-Speed PCB Layout
We engineer multi-layer PCBs optimized for signal integrity, thermal dissipation, and RF constraints, ensuring tight layout compliance that fits your physical enclosure perfectly on the first spin.
Testing & Board Bring-Up
We bring prototypes to life in our lab, managing electrical noise and running rigorous physical diagnostics to catch hardware edge-cases before you sink capital into expensive factory tooling.
Design for Manufacturing (DFM)
We prepare your design for mass production with comprehensive DFM reviews, optimized production files, and custom test fixtures, ensuring a frictionless handoff to your contract manufacturer.
Hardware development lifecycle
HOW WE BUILD YOUR HARDWARE.
A disciplined hardware development process for taking connected products from requirements to production handoff. We align product goals, chip selection, power budgets, PCB design, firmware needs, mechanical constraints, and manufacturing realities before expensive decisions harden.
Define and architect
Set the foundation before boards get expensive. We lock product requirements, choose core chipsets, map power budgets, and surface electrical, mechanical, and firmware constraints early.
Layout and prototype
Turn the architecture into hardware you can test. We handle PCB layout, enclosure constraints, BOM decisions, and early functional prototypes.
Test and validate
Prove the design under real operating conditions. We bring up boards, check power, signal integrity, connectivity, thermal behavior, and firmware interactions before production decisions harden.
Optimize and scale
Prepare the design for manufacturing. We run DFM reviews, lower avoidable production cost, design test fixtures, and hand off clear build documentation to the factory.
Predictable Hardware Execution
ISOLATE HARDWARE RISK BEFORE MASS PRODUCTION.
Physical electronics get expensive the moment design oversights show up late. We model high-risk variables early—integrating compliance planning and bring-up diagnostics well before production decisions lock in.
Applications & Verticals
HARDWARE ENGINEERING BUILT FOR UNCOMPROMISING ENVIRONMENTS.
Physical electronics get exactly one chance to work when deployed. Whether we are architecting low-power, low-cost sensor IoT devices, ruggedizing industrial, automotive, aviation, or marine systems, or safeguarding patient-isolated medical devices for sterile environments, NAK designs around the harsh operational realities that dictate real-world reliability.
