Embedded Systems Development

Firmware, drivers and connectivity — from bare-metal microcontrollers to on-device edge AI, IoT and machine vision.

Embedded Systems Development
Overview

Our Embedded Systems team designs reliable, high-performance hardware and firmware for real-time and mission-critical applications — from microcontroller firmware and BSPs to RTOS and embedded Linux systems.

We cover the full stack around the device: secure connectivity, IoT ecosystems, AI & machine vision, robotics and motion control, industrial communication and the cloud dashboards that tie it all together.

What we deliver

Core capabilities.

01

Firmware & RTOS Development

Robust bare-metal and RTOS firmware with a maintainable architecture.

02

Microcontroller & SoC Design

Right-sized MCU/SoC selection and board bring-up for the job.

03

Device Drivers & BSP

Board-support packages and drivers for sensors, radios and peripherals.

04

Connectivity (BLE / Wi-Fi / LoRa)

Wireless and wired connectivity with reliable protocol stacks.

05

Edge AI & Signal Processing

On-device inference and DSP for low-latency intelligence.

06

Low-Power Design

Power profiling and duty-cycling for battery-grade lifetimes.
