When internal resources are stretched or specialized expertise is needed, NFR provides experienced engineers who work directly alongside your team.
Our engineers are backed by NFR’s broader technical expertise and management oversight. It’s more than staff augmentation, it’s an extension of NFR’s engineering capabilities into your organization.
With 18+ years of enterprise engineering experience, NFR supports programs across ASIC and substrate design, testing, cleanroom operations, and more.
NFR provides specialized engineering expertise or takes responsibility for defined workstreams across semiconductor and electronic product development.
Engage an individual specialist or a multidisciplinary engineering team.

NFR provides access to experienced engineering talent across semiconductor and electronic product development, including ASIC and system design, analog and mixed-signal engineering, RF and high-speed design, PCB and substrate design, verification, test, validation, and related development disciplines.
Yes. NFR can join a program at virtually any stage, from early architecture and design through verification, prototyping, testing, packaging, and production support. You do not need to engage NFR for an entire development program.
NFR is an engineering organization, not a staffing company. Our engineers are supported by broader semiconductor development capabilities and can draw on expertise across ASIC design, PCB design and manufacturing, packaging, test, validation, and production when a project requires it.
Yes. Engineering services can be used to fill specific technical gaps without requiring you to build permanent internal capability. This can be particularly useful for specialized design disciplines, short-term development needs, or programs that require expertise outside your team's core competencies.
Yes. NFR supports ASIC and system design, PCB design and manufacturing, packaging, assembly, and test. Our engineers can address specific integration challenges, such as ASIC-to-PCB interfaces, package and substrate requirements, board bring-up, and device validation. You can engage us for individual disciplines or coordinate multiple stages through one team.
Yes. NFR’s engineering services can be engaged independently of its manufacturing capabilities. You can use NFR for a specific engineering discipline, project phase, or team augmentation need without committing to downstream manufacturing. When manufacturing, packaging, or test support is needed, those capabilities can also be brought into the program.
