Embedded Software Staff Augmentation Services

Embedded software staff augmentation is a cooperation model that allows you to hire skilled engineers to your team for a defined scope of work. One of the biggest advantages of this cooperation model is that you can quickly scale the team up if the project grows or scale down when workload decreases.

Staff augmentation, also known as team extension, allows US businesses to engage developers with specific skills, for example, hire firmware engineers, to release your project on time and ensure its highest quality. The main benefits of staff augmentation include: 

• Access to a wide talent pool from all over the world without being limited to local candidates.
• No hiring and administrative overhead.
• Flexibility in cooperation — no long-term vendor commitments.
• Cost-efficiency compared with hiring full-time engineers

Our talent pool is 100% mid-to-senior level, with approximately 70% Senior/Lead and 30% Middle-level engineers. Once you share your requirements, you receive candidates' CVs, so you can choose the exact level of expertise that fits the project's needs and budget.

Typically, within 2 days, you can meet the first candidates and evaluate their fit for your project. We search for the best candidates so you can interview them as soon as possible.

You can choose from 30+ embedded engineers who can start working on your project as soon as we receive the required hardware and documentation. Hardware delivery typically takes around 2 weeks. As for the documentation, we recommend sharing it as soon as possible so our engineers can review everything.

Staff augmentation differs from a dedicated team in contract flexibility and project ownership. If you need to add one or more engineers with specific skills to your existing team for a defined period, keeping control of the project yourself, choose staff augmentation. A dedicated development team is better suited when you need a remote team to take full responsibility for your project. This team works as a separate unit, with a project manager coordinating delivery on the tech vendor’s side.

Team extension can be challenging at the beginning, since you need to set up cooperation between your in-house team and engaged engineers. Yet we have completed multiple projects following this collaboration model and can guide you through the process. Since our engineers have high English proficiency, communication will be smooth and efficient.

We have a 3-4-hour working-day overlap with the US, so our engineers can join key meetings, collaborate with your team, and stay aligned on day-to-day work; even if your team is based in the Pacific Time Zone.

Staff augmentation is designed to be flexible and aligned with your current needs, starting with the engineers you need for the current phase. In case your roadmap changes, you can then scale the team up, down, or replace specific expertise.

AI can speed up parts of embedded development, but it doesn't replace hands-on engineering. Working with real hardware still requires engineers who can understand the system — from working with physical hardware, selecting and configuring components, bringing up boards, diagnosing system-level issues, and making trade-offs around performance, power, and safety.

These profiles are harder to find than general software developers, therefore, building an embedded team through traditional hiring may be slow and unpredictable. Staff augmentation, on the other hand, provides access to a large pool of experts worldwide with specialized skills that may be harder to find locally. Moreover, this cooperation model can be more cost-efficient, as you do not need to overspend on recruiting and administrative expenses.
