A French SME provides expert embedded software engineering for critical systems, addressing complex issues, at the intersection of software, hardware and RF domains. Services include debugging, transforming POC into industrial-grade product, automated testing and component obsolescence management. Using rigorous methods such as embedded CI/CD and automated non-regression testing. The SME ensures reliable applications performance, and seeks R&D collaborations or technical partnership agreements.
TOFR20260108016
The French company provides high integrity embedded software services tailored for regulated industries, ensuring that devices meet strict safety and reliability standards. The service offering spans the full project lifecycle, starting with the rapid development of Proof of Concepts (POC) to validate technical feasibility for medical devices or industrial controllers, and extending to the final debugging of complex production defects.
The engineering team integrates these technical activities with rigorous documentation processes, adhering to standards such as ECSS for space applications or equivalent quality management frameworks required for medical and industrial certification.
This development capability is highly adaptable to the specific needs of the application, addressing a wide range of software environments. This includes complex Embedded Linux systems managed via Yocto for human-machine interfaces, as well as real-time operating systems like FreeRTOS or Zephyr, and bare-metal implementations for low-latency control loops.
A primary technical focus is the resolution of critical stability issues such as race conditions, memory corruption, and intermittent faults that threaten patient safety in medical tech or uptime in industrial automation. To maintain this stability, the company implements Continuous Integration and Continuous Deployment (CI/CD) pipelines specifically adapted for embedded systems. This includes managing Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) setups to ensure that every code change is automatically tested on physical devices, preventing regressions in deployed systems whether they are surgical robots, manufacturing PLCs, or satellite components.
The French SME is seeking R&D agreements or Commercial agreements with technical assistance with companies in the industrial, medical and space systems sectors.
Advantages and innovations
The French SME provides development capabilities for safety-critical systems based on architectures such as ARM Cortex, RISC-V, and FPGA soft-cores. The technical expertise covers the configuration and maintenance of various operating systems, including custom Yocto-based Linux distributions, Zephyr, and FreeRTOS, depending on the specific safety and latency requirements of the project.
The team is equipped to handle low-level driver development, real-time data processing, and the integration of complex sensor chains required for modern diagnostic tools or automated manufacturing systems. Expertise is explicitly provided in producing the necessary technical documentation and process artifacts to verify compliance with ECSS standards or equivalent industrial and medical safety norms.
Expected role of a partner
The company seeks partnerships with medical device manufacturers, industrial automation firms, and system integrators who require specialised software support. Ideal partners are entities developing complex electromechanical systems that are facing bottlenecks in software stability, validation, or regulatory compliance.
Collaborators may include companies needing a technical partner to transform a research prototype into a robust Proof of Concept, or those needing to rescue a project facing critical bugs during the verification phase. The partner is expected to provide access to the proprietary hardware and define the functional requirements, while the company manages the software reliability, Linux or RTOS integration, and the automated testing strategy.
