Embedded Software Development
Embedded software sits at the core of modern vehicles, enabling everything from real-time control and safety functions to infotainment, connectivity, and user experience. As automotive systems become more software-defined, embedded platforms must balance performance, determinism, safety, and long-term maintainability.
We design, develop, and maintain embedded automotive software across the full vehicle lifecycle, supporting both next-generation platforms and long-lived production systems.
In-Vehicle Embedded Systems
We develop and maintain embedded software for a wide range of in-vehicle systems.
Development and maintenance of in-vehicle software, including audio, infotainment, entertainment, and vehicle network solutions.
Optimisation of system startup and boot time for instrument clusters and other embedded platforms.
Support for legacy systems alongside the evolution of next-generation vehicle architectures.
Automotive Software Architectures and Middleware
Scalable architectures and standardised communication are essential for managing complexity in modern vehicles.
Design and implementation of AUTOSAR Adaptive-based architectures to support modular, scalable, and future-ready software platforms.
Implementation and maintenance of automotive middleware and communication protocols, including SOME/IP within the COVESA ecosystem.
Integration of Android Auto to enhance connectivity and user experience while respecting system constraints and safety considerations.
Real-Time Operating Systems and Platforms
We work across a wide range of automotive-grade real-time operating systems, selecting and configuring platforms to meet performance, safety, and reliability requirements.
Experience with leading RTOS platforms, including QNX, VxWorks, INTEGRITY, LynxOS, FreeRTOS, RTEMS, and Xiluna.
Configuration and optimisation of RTOS environments for deterministic behaviour, resource efficiency, and system robustness.
Support for mixed-criticality systems combining real-time and non-real-time workloads.
Connectivity, Diagnostics, and Updates
Embedded software plays a key role in vehicle connectivity and lifecycle management.
Development of Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X) communication solutions to enhance connectivity, safety, and situational awareness.
Implementation of remote diagnostics, software updates, and data management capabilities to support long-term vehicle operation.
Alignment with secure update and lifecycle management practices for software-defined vehicle platforms.
Quality, Tooling, and Reliability
Ensuring reliability and compliance is essential in embedded automotive development.
Tool qualification activities to support software reliability, safety, and compliance requirements.
Integration of embedded development with validation, testing, and verification workflows.
Focus on traceability, reproducibility, and long-term support for safety- and mission-critical embedded systems.
