Firmware and embedded software that ships with the product

Apprika is a founder-led consultancy for companies building automotive, robotics, semiconductor, and industrial devices. We own architecture, bring-up, RTOS/Linux firmware, and integration — so your hardware team isn't blocked by software risk.

Why Apprika?

Industrial embedded ownership, without the agency fluff

Apprika is a solo software consultancy for industrial embedded — automotive, robotics, and similar product companies in Europe and the US. Engineering leadership gets founder-led firmware, architecture, and integration ownership when the system is too complex for a pure app team, with specialists when the work needs them.

What we build

Three focused practices

Firmware, embedded applications, and quality — the depth your product needs, without a large-agency bench you do not need.

Firmware Engineering

Reliable custom firmware — RTOS, bare-metal integration, bootloaders, and system architectures engineered for constrained hardware and maximum reliability.

RTOSBare-metalDevice DriversBootloaders

Embedded Application Software

Robust embedded apps, middleware, and connectivity — device logic and data pipelines on Embedded Linux and beyond.

IoTEmbedded LinuxC/C++

Quality Assurance & Compliance

Securing embedded ecosystems and auditing compliance with international standards (CE, IEC, ISO) — rigorous testing, security review, and validation baked into every stage.

How We Work

A Clear Path from Idea to Impact

A structured, transparent engagement model that keeps your project on time, on budget, and on standard.

1. Discover

We map your requirements, constraints, and product goals to define the right approach.

2. Architect

We design robust, scalable system and software architectures built for reliability.

3. Build

We develop firmware and embedded software with clean, tested, maintainable code.

4. Validate & Support

We test to standard, validate on hardware, and support you through production and beyond.

Standards we design against

Compliance constraints, not certification claims

We plan architecture, testing, and documentation against the frameworks your market expects — ISO 26262, IATF 16949, IEC 62304, CE/FCC, and related requirements — based on delivery experience with industrial product teams. Apprika is not certified against these marks and is not a certification body.
