Embedded Software
Secure & Reliable Firmware for Connected Devices
We specialize in connected consumer devices where power, security, and reliability are critical.
Security-first BLE, WiFi, and cellular from provisioning through deployment.
Power budgets, sleep optimization, and multi-year battery life modeling.
IEC 62304 compliant development. Automated, CI/CD, and Hardware-in-the Loop testing.
Mechanical, electrical, firmware, software, cloud, and experience are fully integrated.
Embedded in connected systems
Firmware is architected with the connected system in mind.
Firmware sits on your critical path and is the most expensive to change. Poor firmware decisions cascade through your entire product.
We architect embedded software with a system-level perspective. Because we work across devices, mobile, cloud, and electronics, we design for the full system and not just the embedded layer.
The Result: Firmware that integrates cleanly with your connected system, scales to production, and supports your regulatory pathway without blocking development.

What You Get
Production-Ready Firmware with Engineering Traceability
We deliver tested, traceable firmware with the build systems, verification evidence, and documentation that regulatory teams require.
Firmware development requires more than working code. You need to build systems, test infrastructure, traceability matrices, and verification evidence that support regulatory submission and long-term maintainability.
Our deliverables create an auditable trail from requirements through release, essential for products that scale, transfer between teams, or require regulatory approval.
- Design: Traceable requirements, architecture, and design documentation that integrates with your broader system definition.
- Development: Version-controlled, reviewed source code developed against requirements and design, with build systems and toolchain configuration for reproducible builds.
- Verification & Validation Evidence: Requirements verification, risk-based unit and integration testing, plus verification plans, protocols, and reports.
- Release: Traceable software artifacts, SBOM, vulnerability analysis, and unresolved anomaly reports.
