Our Embedded Staff Augmentation Process

Requirements & Skills Assessment

We begin by understanding your project needs, technical environment, and team structure. This includes identifying the specific embedded skills required (microcontroller families, RTOS experience, wireless protocols), seniority levels, team size, and duration of the engagement to create an appropriate team extension plan.

Engineer Selection & Introduction

Based on your requirements, we present pre-vetted embedded engineers with relevant expertise. You interview and select the candidates who best match your team's needs. We focus on both technical proficiency (firmware development, hardware interfacing) and soft skills essential for effective collaboration.

Seamless Onboarding & Integration

Selected engineers are thoroughly briefed on your project goals and technical environment before joining your team. We ensure smooth integration with your development tools, codebase access, and communication channels. Regular check-ins during the initial phase help address any adaptation needs.

Ongoing Management & Support

While you direct the day-to-day work of the augmented team members, we provide administrative support, handle contractual matters, and ensure continuity. If technical or communication adjustments are needed, our engagement managers work quickly to resolve issues and optimize team performance.

IoT & Connected Device Development

Our embedded engineers excel in developing firmware for Internet of Things applications across consumer, industrial, and commercial domains. They have experience with wireless connectivity (BLE, Wi-Fi, LoRaWAN), cloud integration protocols (MQTT, CoAP), and energy-efficient operation crucial for IoT deployments.

Industrial Automation & Control Systems

Augment your team with specialists in industrial embedded systems, including PLC programming, real-time control applications, and factory automation. Our engineers understand industrial protocols (Modbus, CAN, EtherCAT), deterministic performance requirements, and safety considerations for manufacturing environments.

Consumer Electronics & Wearable Devices

Accelerate your consumer product development with engineers experienced in firmware for smart home devices, wearables, and consumer electronics. They bring expertise in user interface implementation, battery optimization, Bluetooth connectivity, and the rapid development cycles typical in consumer markets.

Medical & Healthcare Devices

Strengthen your medical device development with embedded specialists familiar with healthcare applications. Our engineers understand the reliability requirements, precise timing needs, and careful power management essential for medical monitoring devices, diagnostic equipment, and therapeutic systems.

Case Study

We increase efficiency and solve key business problems by creating advanced technological solutions tailored to your needs.

Your Embedded Development Partner in Poland

Based in Poland with a focus on embedded systems, we combine technical expertise with the flexibility of staff augmentation. Our team extension approach gives you direct access to qualified embedded software engineers who understand microcontrollers, wireless protocols, and IoT architectures, all while working within your own development processes.

What embedded technologies do your engineers specialize in?
Our engineers have expertise across major embedded platforms including Nordic nRF series, STM32, ESP32, and various ARM Cortex-M microcontrollers. They are proficient in C/C++ programming, RTOS implementations (FreeRTOS, Zephyr), and wireless technologies like Bluetooth Low Energy, Wi-Fi, and LoRaWAN. Many have experience with specific embedded domains including IoT devices, industrial control systems, audio devices, and sensor networks.
How quickly can you provide embedded engineers for our team?
Typically, we can present qualified candidates within 1-2 weeks of finalizing your requirements. For common embedded skills, we often have pre-vetted engineers available for immediate deployment. The entire process from initial discussion to having engineers working with your team usually takes 2-4 weeks, depending on your selection process and specific technical requirements.
What is the minimum contract period for embedded staff augmentation?
Our standard minimum engagement is 3 months, which provides sufficient time for engineers to become familiar with your project and deliver meaningful contributions. However, we understand that project needs vary, and we can accommodate shorter engagements for specific tasks or proof-of-concept work. For optimal results, many clients engage our embedded engineers for 6-12 months or longer.
How do your augmented team members integrate with our existing workflow?
Our embedded engineers adapt to your established development processes and tools. They work directly under your project management, joining your standups, using your version control, and following your coding standards. We encourage direct communication channels between the augmented team members and your staff. Our engineers receive initial training on your specific procedures and can use any development environments or collaboration tools you prefer.
What advantages does staff augmentation offer over traditional outsourcing for embedded projects?
Staff augmentation gives you direct control over priorities, tasks, and quality standards, unlike outsourcing where you typically only manage deliverables. Your augmented team members work exclusively on your projects, following your directions. This model combines the cost advantages of Polish engineering talent with the control and flexibility of in-house development. It also eliminates knowledge silos, as the code and documentation remain fully within your organization.
How do you ensure the quality of your embedded software engineers?
We employ a rigorous vetting process including technical assessments, code reviews, and experience verification. For embedded roles, we evaluate specific skills such as microcontroller programming, debugging techniques, RTOS understanding, and hardware interfacing capabilities. We also assess software engineering fundamentals, test-driven development practices, and experience with embedded toolchains. Only engineers who demonstrate both technical proficiency and collaboration skills join our talent pool.
Can your engineers work within regulatory requirements like IEC 62304 or ISO 26262?
Yes, many of our embedded engineers have experience working under various regulatory frameworks. Some have worked on medical device firmware compliant with IEC 62304, while others have experience with automotive systems following ISO 26262 standards. When matching engineers to your team, we specifically look for candidates with relevant regulatory experience if your project involves certified systems or safety-critical applications.
What if an engineer doesn't meet our expectations after joining?
If an engineer is not meeting your expectations, we address the issue promptly. We first work to resolve any communication or technical misalignments. If the fit still isn't right, we can replace the engineer with another qualified candidate at no additional cost within the first month. Our goal is your satisfaction, and we maintain a bench of embedded specialists to ensure continuity in case replacement is necessary.
