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. STM32, Nordic nRF & ESP32 depth RTOS, bare-metal & driver bring-up Zephyr, FreeRTOS & Embedded Linux Solo founder + specialists as needed Clear scoping, honest estimates Industrial products — Europe & US 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. RTOS · Bare-metal · Device Drivers · Bootloaders ### Embedded Application Software Robust embedded apps, middleware, and connectivity — device logic and data pipelines on Embedded Linux and beyond. IoT · Embedded Linux · C/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. Security Audits · CE / IEC / ISO · Validation · Performance 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.

Firmware · RTOS, drivers, bring-up & connectivity Solo+ · Founder-led, specialists as needed 2024 · Founded Testimonials ## What clients say Apprika is the most professional team I worked with. They really know what they are doing in embedded software. ###### Ahmed Adel CEO I want to thank Apprika for getting my MVP up and running in two weeks. I will be happy to work with them again. ###### Domagoj Kubič Manager I have collaborated with Apprika on multiple projects. Their way of doing things is always top notch. ###### Albrecht Seeger CTO 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. CE · FCC · IEC 62304 · ISO 9001 · ISO 26262 · IATF 16949 ## Ready to ship reliable firmware?
