Custom Hardware Design - Made in Vietnam

From idea to shelf-ready device: circuit design, firmware, mechanics and power — through mass production and certification. Our hardware engineers have 10+ years of experience at major tech corporations.

Hardware
Overview

Full-stack hardware - you describe the problem, we build the product

Mantis Tech has electronics, firmware and mechanical engineers who can design a device from scratch — not just assemble off-the-shelf modules. We handle schematics, 4-8 layer PCB layout, cost-optimized BOM selection, thermal and EMC/EMI simulation, bare-metal and RTOS firmware, and mechanical design for injection-molded plastic or stamped metal.

Our relationships with PCB, SMT, plastic and metal factories in Vietnam and China let us build 100-unit prototypes in 2 weeks, 1,000-unit pilots in 6 weeks, and scale to tens of thousands of units per month. We also support CE, FCC and RoHS certification and industry-specific standards (medical, automotive).

Unlike pure outsourcing, we partner from the idea stage: interviewing end users, analyzing use cases and proposing the optimal hardware architecture. Mantis has delivered products for clients in smart agriculture, manufacturing, healthcare, education and consumer markets.
