Overflow Engineering  for Teams That Can't Get to Everything

Custom Embedded Electronics

We take ownership of the embedded design, firmware, and redesign work your engineering team doesn't have bandwidth for, and carry it through prototype, pilot, and production. You keep all the IP.

Is This Your Engineering Team Right Now?

You have the engineering talent, just not enough of it
Sustaining work and new development compete for the same engineers
Firmware continuity depends on one or two key people
You've looked at outside help before, but never found a team that felt like an extension of yours

Where We Fit

MicroType operates as an extension of your engineering team, not a replacement for it. Hand us subsystem design, firmware, a legacy redesign, or sustaining work. We own the deliverable, you own the IP, and your roadmap stays on track.

How We Work With Your Team

You tell us what's stuck. Maybe it's a subsystem that's been waiting three quarters for someone to pick it up, or firmware that only one person on your team understands and you can't afford the continuity risk. We start by learning your system architecture, your constraints, and the field environment your product operates in. Then we scope the work together, agree on deliverables and review cadence, and our team runs with it.

We handle the full engineering lifecycle for that scope: PCB design, firmware, mechanical integration, test planning, and DFM. You get updates on a schedule that works for your team, not ours, and you're never more than a conversation away from the engineers doing the work. At the end, you get a production-ready deliverable, complete source files, and documentation you can take to any manufacturer. Nothing is locked up with us.

State-of-the-Art Capabilities

PCB Design & Prototyping

Circuit Design & Prototyping

We handle the full board design lifecycle: schematic capture, layout, design review, and prototype builds.  In-house SMT and through-hole assembly with X-ray and AOI inspection means your first boards come back fast.

Firmware & Embedded Software

Bare-metal, RTOS, and embedded linux, driver development, and communication protocol integration for embedded systems  across industrial and defense applications.

Pre-Compliance Testing

Test & Validation

From design-stage test planning through fixture development and pre-compliance screening, we validate that your product performs to spec before it moves to production.

Production & Box Builds

The same engineers who designed your product manage its production. SMT assembly, box builds, labeling,  packaging, and shipping, all from our U.S. facility with full traceability.

Industries We Serve

Whether you launch satellites, irrigate crops or automate assembly lines, our custom controllers connect assets, streamline processes, facilitate informed decision making, enable automated control and boost reliability.

Aerospace & Defense

Aerospace & Defense

In aerospace and defense, companies need systems that offer precision, reliability, and the ability to perform in mission-critical environments. Off-the-shelf solutions often lack the security and customization necessary to meet industry standards.

Water & Sewage

Water & Sewage

Water treatment and sewage management rely on custom control systems for precise automation and monitoring, ensuring that regulatory standards are met.
