Frequently Asked Questions About Embedded Application Development

What types of embedded systems can your developers work on?

Our embedded application developers have experience across a wide range of systems and industries. They can work on microcontroller-based devices, real-time control systems, IoT devices, automotive electronics, medical devices, industrial automation systems, and consumer electronics. The key is matching you with developers who have relevant experience in your specific industry and hardware platform.

Since NeoWork serves companies with 50+ employees who typically have established products and processes, our developers are well-suited to work on commercial-grade embedded systems that require professional development practices and quality standards. We can start with smaller development tasks and scale up as the relationship develops, often growing into teams of around 20 developers for larger product lines.

How do you ensure code quality and reliability for embedded applications?

Our embedded developers follow rigorous quality assurance practices that are essential for embedded systems where failures can have serious consequences. This includes static code analysis, peer code reviews, comprehensive testing protocols, and adherence to industry coding standards like MISRA C for safety-critical applications.

We implement version control systems, automated testing frameworks where applicable, and documentation standards that ensure your embedded code is maintainable and scalable. Our developers also use hardware simulation and emulation tools for early-stage testing, reducing the risk of issues when the software is deployed to actual hardware.

The quality focus aligns with NeoWork's emphasis on long-term partnerships and employee development - our developers view their roles as careers, not temporary positions, which motivates them to maintain high standards and take ownership of code quality.

Can your embedded developers work with our existing hardware and development tools?

Yes, our embedded application developers are experienced with a wide variety of development environments, microcontroller platforms, and debugging tools commonly used in embedded development. This includes popular IDEs like Keil, IAR, and Eclipse-based environments, as well as debugging tools from major semiconductor manufacturers.

During the onboarding process, we ensure your developer becomes proficient with your specific toolchain, hardware platforms, and development processes. This typically takes 2-3 weeks and includes training on your coding standards, version control systems, and testing procedures.

Our flexible approach means we can adapt to your existing development infrastructure rather than requiring you to change your established processes. This is particularly important for companies with mature products and established development workflows.

What happens if our embedded development needs change or scale up?

NeoWork's flexible staffing model is designed to accommodate changing development needs, which is common in hardware product development where requirements can shift based on market feedback, hardware changes, or new product launches.

We can easily scale your embedded development team up or down based on project phases, add developers with different specializations (such as adding an IoT specialist to a team focused on control systems), or adjust working hours to match critical development deadlines.

Our experience shows that the most successful partnerships start with smaller teams that grow alongside the client's needs. Many of our embedded development relationships begin with 1-2 developers and expand to larger teams as products mature and new development projects emerge. This scaling approach allows you to maintain cost efficiency while ensuring you have the right expertise at each stage of your product development cycle.

How do you handle intellectual property and code security for embedded projects?

Intellectual property protection is critical for embedded development projects, especially given the competitive nature of hardware markets and the proprietary nature of many embedded applications. NeoWork implements comprehensive security measures including signed NDAs, secure development environments, and restricted access to proprietary code and documentation.

Our developers work exclusively with your organization during their contracted hours, ensuring your proprietary information and code remain confidential. We also implement secure communication channels and version control systems that protect your intellectual property throughout the development process.

Additionally, all code developed by our embedded developers becomes your intellectual property, with clear documentation and knowledge transfer processes to ensure you maintain full control over your embedded applications. This approach supports long-term product maintenance and future development needs, whether handled internally or through continued partnership with NeoWork.
