Item 6.     Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

Subsection 1 of Section 78.7502 of the Nevada Revised Statutes ("NRS") empowers a corporation to indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the corporation) by reason of the fact that he or she is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprises (an "Indemnified Party"), against expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if the Indemnified Party acted in good faith and in a manner the Indemnified Party reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceedings, had no reasonable cause to believe the Indemnified Party's conduct was unlawful.  A corporation is not empowered to indemnify an Indemnified Party against claims resulting from the act or failure to act of the Indemnified Party if the Indemnified Party's act or failure to act constituted a breach of the Indemnified Party's fiduciary duties as a director or officer and involved intentional misconduct, fraud or a knowing violation of law.

Subsection 2 of Section 78.7502 of the NRS empowers a corporation to indemnify any Indemnified Party who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that such person acted in the capacity of an Indemnified Party against expenses, including amounts paid in settlement and attorneys' fees actually and reasonably incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit if the Indemnified Party acted under standards similar to those set forth above, except that no indemnification may be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which the Indemnified Party shall have been finally adjudged to be liable to the corporation or for amounts paid in settlement to the corporation unless and only to the extent that the court in which such action or suit was brought, or other court of competent jurisdiction, determines upon application that in view of all the circumstances, the Indemnified Party is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses as the court deems proper.

Section 78.7502 of the NRS further provides that to the extent an Indemnified Party has been successful on the merits or otherwise in the defense of any action, suit or proceeding referred to in Subsection 1 or 2 of Section 78.7502 of the NRS (as described above) or in the defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, the corporation shall indemnify the Indemnified Party against expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection therewith.

Subsection 1 of Section 78.751 of the NRS provides that any discretionary indemnification under Section 78.7502 of the NRS, unless ordered by a court or advanced pursuant to Subsection 2 of Section 78.751, may be made by a corporation only as authorized in the specific case upon a determination that indemnification of the Indemnified Person is proper in the circumstances.  Such determination must be made (a) by the stockholders, (b) by the board of directors of the corporation by majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors who were not parties to the action, suit or proceeding, (c) if a majority vote of a quorum of such disinterested directors so orders, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion, or (d) by independent legal counsel in a written opinion if a quorum of such disinterested directors cannot be obtained.

Subsection 2 of Section 78.751 of the NRS provides that a corporation's articles of incorporation or bylaws or an agreement made by the corporation may require the corporation to pay as incurred and in advance of the final disposition of a criminal or civil action, suit or proceeding, the expenses of officers and directors in defending such action, suit or proceeding upon receipt by the corporation of an undertaking by or on behalf of the officer or director to repay the amount if it is ultimately determined by a court that he is not entitled to be indemnified by the corporation. Said Subsection 2 further provides that the provisions of that Subsection 2 do not affect any rights to advancement of expenses to which corporate personnel other than officers and directors may be entitled under contract or otherwise by law.

- 4 -



Subsection 3 of Section 78.751 of the NRS provides that indemnification and advancement of expenses authorized in or ordered by a court pursuant to said Section 78.751 does not exclude any other rights to which the Indemnified Party may be entitled under the articles of incorporation or any by-law, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise, for either an action in his official capacity or in another capacity while holding his office. However, indemnification, unless ordered by a court pursuant to Section 78.7502 or for the advancement of expenses under Subsection 2 of Section 78.751 of the NRS, may not be made to or on behalf of any director or officer of the corporation if a final adjudication establishes that his or her acts or omissions involved intentional misconduct, fraud or a knowing violation of the law and was material to the cause of action. Additionally, the scope of such indemnification and advancement of expenses shall continue as to an Indemnified party who has ceased to hold one of the positions specified above, and shall inure to the benefit of his or her heirs, executors and administrators.

The Registrant's Articles of Incorporation provide that the Company shall, to the full extent permitted by the NRS, indemnify all persons whom it has the power to indemnify pursuant thereto, including officers and directors of Registrant.  The Company's Bylaws provide that provide that the Company shall, to the fullest extent permitted under the NRS, indemnify any and all persons whom it has the power to indemnify under said law from any and all expenses, liabilities or other matters referred to in such law.

Section 78.752 of the NRS empowers a corporation to purchase and maintain insurance or make other financial arrangements on behalf of an Indemnified Party for any liability asserted against such person and liabilities and expenses incurred by such person in his or her capacity as an Indemnified Party or arising out of such person's status as an Indemnified Party whether or not the corporation has the authority to indemnify such person against such liability and expenses.

The Registrant's Articles of Incorporation authorize the Registrant to maintain insurance to cover such liabilities. The Registrant has purchased Directors' and Officer's Liability Insurance to protect directors and officers of the Registrant from any liability asserted against them for acts taken or omissions occurring in their capacities as such.  The Registrant is not required to maintain such insurance and there can be no assurance that the Registrant will continue to maintain such insurance or coverage in such amounts.

Item 9.     Undertakings.

(a) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:

(1)
To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:

(i) To include any prospectus required by section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended;

(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement;

(iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement;

provided, however, that Paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the Securities and Exchange Commission by the registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement.

(2)
That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

(3)
To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered that remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

(b)
The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, each filing of the registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, that is incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

(c)
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.  In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

RE:
RCM Technologies, Inc.
Registration Statement on Form S-8 Relating to the Amended and Restated 2014 Omnibus Equity Compensation Plan

Ladies and Gentlemen:

We have acted as counsel to RCM Technologies, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the "Company"), in connection with the preparation of a registration statement on Form S-8 (the "Registration Statement") for filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act"), for the registration by the Company of 500,000 shares (the "Shares") of the Company's common stock, par value $0.05 per share (the "Common Stock"), which may be issued under the Company's Amended and Restated 2014 Omnibus Equity Compensation Plan, as amended to date (the "Plan").  We have examined the Plan, the Articles of Incorporation of the Company, as amended to date, the Amended and Restated Bylaws of the Company, as amended to date, and such certificates, records, statutes and other documents as we have deemed relevant in rendering this opinion.  As to matters of fact, we have relied on representations of officers of the Company.  In our examination, we have assumed the genuineness of documents submitted to us as originals and the genuineness of, and conformity with, the original of all documents submitted to us as copies thereof.

Based upon the foregoing, we are of the opinion that the Shares, when issued by the Company in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Plan, will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.

The opinion set forth above is limited to the laws of the State of Nevada.

We hereby consent to the use of this opinion as Exhibit 5.1 to the Registration Statement.  In giving such opinion, we do not thereby admit that we are acting within the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Act or the rules or regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission thereunder.

Very truly yours,

/s/ Morgan, Lewis & Bockius LLP
