Embedded Systems Development in Winnipeg: How to Choose
Choosing a partner for a custom electronics product depends on your stage. We focus on early-stage startups and product teams that need PCB design, firmware and a physical prototype coordinated in one place.
| Your situation | Best-fit partner type |
|---|
| Early-stage startup with an idea or proof of concept | Hardware, firmware and enclosure from one local team (Winnipeg Prototyping) |
| Mature design needing volume PCB assembly | A PCBA manufacturer with certified processes |
| Rugged industrial or vehicle controls | An industrial controls specialist |
| Firmware-only or cloud dashboard work | A software or IoT consultancy, or us if hardware is involved too |
Product Development Workflow
- CAD and 3D printing for the enclosure and mechanical parts
- PCB design and PCB fabrication
- Firmware and embedded systems development
- Software, IoT dashboards and integration
- Rapid hardware prototyping and testing, with transparent pricing
Embedded Systems FAQ
What should a startup look for in an embedded systems development partner?
Look for a partner that covers PCB design, firmware and the enclosure together, hands over source code and design files, and can iterate with you locally. Winnipeg Prototyping offers CAD, PCB design and assembly, embedded firmware and 3D printing under one roof, starting with embedded software from $400 and PCB design from $450.
Which microcontrollers and tools do you work with?
AVR, PIC, ARM, STM32, ESP32, Arduino and Raspberry Pi, with RTOS, C, C++, Python and assembly. Interfaces include I2C, SPI, GPIO, USB, RS232, RS485, Wi-Fi and RF. Debugging uses oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, debuggers, power supplies and data-loggers.
Can you take a hardware product from CAD to a production-ready prototype?
Yes. We design the enclosure in CAD, design and assemble the PCB, write the firmware and 3D print the housing, so hardware, firmware and mechanical work stay coordinated.
