engineering applications
We develop the firmware, embedded software and cloud connectivity that bring your devices and equipment online. Devices run reliably, update securely and send data your business can use.
Overview
IoT & Embedded Engineering helps organizations build connected devices and equipment, from the firmware that runs on them to the cloud platforms that manage them.
We develop firmware and embedded software, connect devices securely and build the cloud services and applications that collect and present device data. Secure boot, signed firmware and over-the-air updates keep devices protected and maintainable throughout their life.
The result is reliable connected products and equipment data your business can use.
What gets in the way
Experienced firmware and embedded engineers are hard to hire, slowing product development and maintenance.
Firmware, hardware and cloud teams work separately, causing integration issues late in development.
Without secure remote updates, fixing defects or vulnerabilities requires costly site visits or product recalls.
Equipment generates useful data, but there is no reliable way to collect, transmit and use it.
Connected devices with weak authentication or unprotected firmware create entry points for attackers.
What we do
Each capability can be scoped on its own or combined into a larger programme of work.
Capability 01
Develop reliable, efficient firmware for microcontrollers and processors, from board bring-up to production release.
Capability 02
Build embedded applications and embedded Linux systems for devices that need richer features and interfaces.
Capability 03
Connect devices and equipment securely, and process data at the edge where speed or bandwidth matters.
Capability 04
Build cloud platforms and applications that manage devices, collect telemetry and present data to users.
Capability 05
Keep devices secure and up to date throughout their life with signed firmware and over-the-air updates.
What changes
How we work
Why Hinkor
Firmware, embedded, cloud and application engineers work together, so the full solution fits from the start.
Firmware is tested on target hardware throughout development, not only on simulators.
Secure boot, signed firmware and device identity are part of the design, not added before launch.
Remote updates and maintainable code keep devices supported long after the first release.
Engagement options
Start with a defined piece of work. If the scope is not clear yet, begin with an advisory engagement and decide the delivery shape afterwards.
Review your device, firmware and connectivity plans, and receive an architecture and delivery roadmap.
Connect a prototype or existing device to the cloud to prove connectivity, data flow and remote updates.

FAQ
If your question is not here, ask it directly.
Ask a direct questionOur focus is firmware, embedded software and connectivity. We work with your hardware team or design partner on board bring-up, component choices and testing, so hardware and software stay aligned.
Yes. We review the existing code, toolchain and documentation, set up a build and test process, then fix defects, add features and manage releases.
We use secure boot, signed firmware, unique device identities and encrypted communication. Over-the-air updates let you fix vulnerabilities quickly without site visits.
IoT & Embedded Engineering builds the devices, firmware and connectivity that collect and send data. Data Platforms & Engineering stores, combines and prepares that data for analytics, reporting and AI.
Each release is handed over with source code, build instructions and documentation. Your team can maintain it, or Hinkor can provide ongoing firmware maintenance and updates as a dedicated team.
