Focused engineering support across the critical stages of embedded hardware development, from system-level decisions through detailed implementation.
02
Schematic Design
Translate requirements into detailed electronic schematics for embedded and processor-based systems.
03
PCB Layout
Board-level design that considers signal integrity, physical constraints, component placement, and manufacturability.
04
Wireless Integration
Embedded wireless technology integration with attention to RF-sensitive board design and system requirements.
05
Prototype Development
Support for prototype realization, initial board evaluation, and hardware bring-up.
06
EMI / EMC Considerations
Design practices and compliance planning considerations intended to reduce avoidable downstream hardware issues.
02 / ENGINEERING EXAMPLES
Real hardware.
Engineering in detail.
A selection of hardware designs illustrating embedded electronics, RF integration, processor-based systems, and prototype engineering. These are examples of engineering capabilities—not products offered for sale.

Illustrative engineering work only. No pictured hardware is represented as a currently available NPI Systems product.
BUILT AROUND THE DETAILS
Good embedded hardware starts long before the first board is assembled. Architecture, interfaces, layout, and validation all matter.
03 / HOW WE WORK
A deliberate path
from idea to hardware.
An engineering-led process keeps design decisions connected to the requirements that matter most.
01 / DISCOVER
Understand the requirements
Review functional goals, interfaces, physical constraints, and development priorities.
02 / DESIGN
Develop the hardware
Establish the architecture and create the schematics and board design.
03 / REALIZE
Move toward a prototype
Support fabrication and assembly coordination as appropriate to the engagement.
04 / EVALUATE
Bring up and refine
Evaluate prototype hardware and identify issues for subsequent revisions.
04 / ABOUT NPI SYSTEMS
Engineering focus.
Practical execution.
NPI Systems is a Vancouver, Canada-based embedded hardware design consultancy focused on custom electronics and processor-based systems.
Our work centers on the technical decisions that shape reliable hardware: architecture, schematic design, printed circuit boards, wireless integration, and prototype development.
