IoT & Embedded Systems
IoT and embedded engineering is the development of software that runs on physical devices and the platforms that collect, process and act on the data those devices produce.
Software for devices in the field, and the platforms that make sense of what they send back.
Why teams bring us this work.
Connected hardware fails differently from web software. Devices lose power mid-write, sit on networks that disappear for days, run for years without a visit, and cannot be rolled back with a redeploy. The design problems are buffering, idempotency, clock drift, secure boot and over-the-air update — and they have to be solved before the first unit ships, not after.
We build firmware, the device-to-cloud layer, and the platforms that ingest and act on telemetry, including on-device inference where bandwidth, latency or privacy rule out sending raw data anywhere.
You likely need this if
- Hardware that works on the bench and fails in the field
- No safe way to update devices already deployed
- Telemetry arriving but nothing acting on it
- Device data that cannot leave the site for privacy or bandwidth reasons
What we deliver.

Our IoT & Embedded process.
Requirements & constraints
Power, connectivity, environment, lifetime and security requirements established first, because they determine every later choice.
Firmware
Embedded software written for intermittent power and connectivity, with secure boot and signed updates from the start.
Connectivity & ingest
Protocol selection, buffering, backfill and idempotent ingestion that tolerates duplicates and long outages.
Platform
Fleet management, provisioning, telemetry storage, alerting and remote diagnostics.
Field rollout
Staged over-the-air updates with rollback, because a bad update to deployed hardware is expensive to undo.

IoT & Embedded — common questions.
What is IoT development?
IoT development is the building of software that runs on physical devices together with the platforms that collect, process and act on the data those devices produce. It spans firmware, connectivity, ingestion, storage and fleet management.
What is edge computing?
Edge computing processes data on or near the device rather than sending it to a central cloud. It is used where bandwidth is limited, latency matters, connectivity is unreliable, or privacy rules prevent raw data leaving the site — for example running inference on-device and transmitting only results.
How do you update devices already in the field?
Through signed over-the-air updates with staged rollout and automatic rollback on failure. Devices verify signatures before applying an update and keep a known-good image to fall back to, because a failed update on remote hardware can mean a physical site visit.
How do you secure IoT devices?
Secure boot, per-device identity and keys rather than shared credentials, encrypted transport, signed firmware, no default passwords, and a defined process for revoking a compromised device. Physical access must be assumed, so keys are held in secure elements where the hardware allows.
Can you work with our hardware team?
Yes. We commonly own firmware and the cloud platform while the client or their manufacturer owns the hardware design, working to an agreed interface. We can also review hardware choices early, where they constrain what the software can achieve.
