Connected Product Development

Product development for connected hardware, from early architecture through to production-ready firmware, device integration, and launch support.

Who This Is For

Founders, CTOs, and product teams building connected hardware who need senior embedded expertise without building a full in-house firmware team. This is typically a good fit for startups and small companies moving from concept or prototype toward a product they can ship and support.

What Gets Delivered

A production-ready technical foundation for your product, designed for reliability, security, and long-term maintainability. Depending on the project, this can include firmware architecture, hardware bring-up, connectivity, manufacturing support, and companion app or cloud integration.

The goal is not just to get a prototype working. Systems are designed to be updated, maintained, and trusted in the field, with security and lifecycle support considered from the start.

Capabilities

• Embedded C/C++ firmware development
• Real-time operating systems (FreeRTOS, Zephyr)
• Linux-based systems (Yocto, Buildroot)
• Wireless connectivity (BLE, Wi-Fi, LoRa, Cellular)
• Wired protocols (CAN, RS485, Ethernet)
• Cloud integration and APIs
• Hardware bring-up and BSP development
• Production testing and manufacturing support

How Engagement Starts

Most projects begin with a short discovery phase to understand your goals, constraints, risks, and delivery timeline. This produces a clear scope, architecture direction, and phased plan before significant implementation begins.

You work directly with senior engineering throughout the project. Progress is delivered incrementally, with regular checkpoints and decisions made in the context of cost, maintainability, product risk, and long-term support.

What Usually Follows

After initial development, many clients move to a long-term support arrangement for ongoing maintenance, security patches, and lifecycle ownership. Others engage for product hardening before a major release, customer deployment, or compliance milestone.
