Embedded Systems Design Services

What we do

Firmware architecture and development, RTOS-based and bare-metal, low-power design for battery and energy-harvesting budgets, communication stacks across industrial and automotive protocols, bootloaders and over-the-air update systems that cannot brick the fleet, and hardware-in-the-loop test rigs so firmware is exercised against real signals before real deployments.

The details that decide field reliability

Watchdogs that recover the states you did not predict. Update mechanisms with fallback images, because an OTA that can fail permanently is a recall waiting to happen. Persistent state that survives power loss mid-write. Diagnostics rich enough that the one unit misbehaving in another country can tell you why. These are the differences between a demo and a product, and they are where our engagements spend their care.

Connected devices without regret

Device-to-cloud is where embedded work meets our IoT and cloud practices: protocol choice under real bandwidth and power constraints, telemetry design that the analytics layer can actually trust, and security from provisioning through decommissioning, with per-device identity, signed firmware and encrypted transport. A connected-vehicle gateway program we carried from spec through design ran exactly this span, CAN networks on one side, Ethernet and cloud on the other.

Questions we hear before engagements

Which platforms do you work on?

ARM Cortex-M and Cortex-A families, ESP32-class parts, FPGA SoCs, and automotive-grade controllers, with RTOS work across FreeRTOS, Zephyr and vendor stacks. Platform choice follows the power, cost and lifecycle math, not habit.

Can you work on safety-adjacent systems?

We engineer with the relevant discipline: defensive design, traceability, testing rigour. And we are straightforward about where formal certification consultants are needed alongside us.

Do you write firmware for existing hardware?

Yes, including inherited codebases. Embedded rescue is common and starts the same way, with the build made reproducible.

How do you test?

Hardware-in-the-loop rigs, automated regression against real peripherals, and field simulation of the ugly cases: brownouts, dropped links, corrupted flash.
