Embedded Software Engineering

Modern embedded products are increasingly dependent on complex software architectures to provide the rich feature sets required. Having expertise that is up-to-date and broad enough to attack these problems is a challenge for some engineering services providers. Cardinal Peak thrives in this environment. Our expertise comes from our partners' years of consulting experience in this arena, and from senior staff engineers who have spent their careers living in this space.

Cardinal Peak's experience in embedded software development starts at the highest architectural design levels and extends to the ability to integrate the software with hardware requiring the use of logic analyzers, protocol monitors and signal generators.

Our expertise ranges from board bring up and RTOS development, to device driver development and system architecture, to embedded application development.
