[FW] Firmware

Code that runs for years on a coin cell — or a millisecond control loop.

Bare-metal and RTOS firmware, wireless connectivity, secure OTA pipelines and power tuning, matched to what your product actually needs rather than a generic template.

CASE 02

On-Device Early Fall-Detection Wearable

US-based aging-in-place / digital-health wearable startup

A wearable analyzes motion data locally to identify movement patterns associated with potential falls, without continuously transmitting raw sensor data to the cloud.

Common questions

What people ask before scoping this layer.

Which RTOS / wireless stacks do you work with?

FreeRTOS, Zephyr and bare-metal on the RTOS side; BLE, Wi-Fi, LoRa, Zigbee and cellular on connectivity, chosen based on your power and range constraints, not by default.

How do you handle OTA safely?

Signed, rollback-capable OTA pipelines with staged rollout — the update path is designed alongside the firmware, not bolted on after v1 ships.

What's the AI/human split in practice here?

AI scaffolds drivers and protocol-stack boilerplate; a senior firmware engineer owns real-time timing guarantees and every power-critical code path.

Can you extend battery life on an existing product?

Yes — power profiling and firmware-level tuning is a common standalone engagement when hardware is already locked.
