Hire Embedded Software Engineers Who Ship Firmware That Holds Up in the Field
Hire embedded software engineers from Entrans to write C, C++, and Rust firmware and bring up new boards. They build on FreeRTOS, Zephyr, and Embedded Linux. Our engineers have taken DC fast chargers through official OCPP 2.0.1 certification. You get devices that boot reliably, update safely over the air, and reach the market on schedule.
Why Market Leaders Choose Entrans Embedded Software Engineers
Embedded work punishes guesswork. A missed timing limit or a bad update can brick devices that customers already own. Our embedded software engineers for hire bring the hardware sense and release discipline that keep your product stable after launch.
1. Senior, Hardware-Aware Engineers
Our engineers read datasheets, schematics, and errata as closely as they read code. They debug with JTAG probes, logic analyzers, and oscilloscopes, so they fix the root cause, not the symptom.
2. One Team for the Whole Device Lifecycle
The same team can handle board bring-up, drivers, application firmware, and field updates. With fewer vendor handoffs, one group owns how your device behaves in the field.
3. Compliance-Ready Engineering
We follow coding rules like MISRA C and keep the records that safety and security audits ask for. That matters when your product must meet ISO 26262, IEC 62304, or a protocol test such as OCPP 2.0.1 certification.
4. Device-to-Cloud and Edge AI Integration
Our engineers connect devices to AWS IoT Core or Azure IoT Hub over MQTT and run compact ML models at the edge. Our enterprise cloud solutions team then turns that device data into dashboards and alerts.
5. Flexible Engagement With US Time-Zone Overlap
Start with one engineer or a full firmware pod on contract-to-hire or project terms. Our teams in the US and India share working hours with yours, so reviews and hardware questions get same-day answers.
Hire Embedded Software Developers From Entrans That Are Certified and Experienced
Entrans is ISO certified and a NASSCOM member, with 500+ domain-trained professionals on staff. Here is the embedded work our developers take on every day.
Firmware Development in C, C++, and Rust
Our developers write production firmware in Embedded C and modern C++, and they use Rust where memory safety matters most. For larger application layers, you can add our dedicated C++ developers to the same team.
RTOS and Bare-Metal Programming
They build task schedules, interrupt handlers, and low-power modes on FreeRTOS, Zephyr, ThreadX, or bare metal. Every design respects the timing, stack, and memory limits of small chips.
Embedded Linux, BSPs, and Board Bring-Up
On larger processors, they build Yocto and Buildroot images, port U-Boot, and write device trees and kernel drivers. They also power up new boards for the first time and chase down faults with your hardware team.
Connectivity and Protocol Engineering
Our developers implement CAN, SPI, I2C, UART, Modbus, BLE, Wi-Fi, and MQTT stacks. They also handle industry protocols like OCPP for EV chargers, including the testing needed to pass certification.
Firmware Testing and Hardware-in-the-Loop CI
We set up unit tests, static analysis, and test rigs with real hardware in the loop. They run on every commit. Our DevOps and quality engineering practice brings the same pipeline habits to your firmware.
Secure Boot, OTA Updates, and SBOMs
They add secure boot, signed images, and OTA updates that roll back when a release fails. Each build also produces a software bill of materials, with support from our cybersecurity and compliance team.

Our Customer Success Stories
Modernizing DC Fast Chargers With OCPP 1.6 to 2.0.1 Migration
Industry: EV Infrastructure
Technical Stack: OCPP 1.6 | OCPP 2.0.1 | Charger Firmware | Protocol Engineering | Device Modeling | Security Profiles | Pre-Certification Testing
A leading North American EV charging network needed its DC fast chargers on OCPP 2.0.1 to add fleet features. The upgrade meant a full system rebuild. A failed certification could have stalled the launch.
Entrans wrote new firmware and tested it on the client's existing hardware. The team also made the backend changes for device models, transactions, and security profiles. A test setup that copied the official checks caught issues before the real test.
The OCPP 1.6 to 2.0.1 migration cut more than 12 months off the usual time to certification. Every DC fast charger model passed, and the client launched ahead of rival products.
Enabling Offline EV Charging With a Bluetooth Solution for OCPP
Industry: Automotive
Technical Stack: OCPP | Bluetooth | Mobile App Integration | Secure Offline Authentication | Store-and-Forward Transactions | OTA Updates
An EV charging hardware supplier could not sell into underground garages or remote sites. The chargers needed a live internet link to work. Sessions also failed where coverage was weak, which hurt driver trust.
Entrans built a Bluetooth link between the charger and the driver's phone. The charger now approves each session locally over that link. Transaction data stays secure on the charger and syncs once the connection returns, so no revenue is lost.
The offline OCPP EV charging solution delivered 100% charger uptime, with or without internet. The supplier can now sell into sites it could not reach before. Over-the-air updates keep the design current as OCPP standards change.
Designed for Enterprise Speed and Control
A typical firmware hire can take two months or more. When you hire embedded systems developers through Entrans, vetted engineers start in your repo within days, and you approve every step.
Share Your Requirements
Tell us about your hardware, OS, toolchain, and any safety or certification goals. We also ask where the board stands, because bring-up work calls for a different profile than feature work.
Get Curated Profiles (Within 24 to 48 Hours)
We send a short list of engineers matched to your stack, with the devices, RTOS platforms, and protocols each one has shipped. You see real project history, not keyword-matched resumes.
Evaluate and Interview
Run your own technical interviews, or ask us to add a code review and a live debugging walkthrough. You decide who joins your team.
Onboard and Kickoff (Within 48 to 72 Hours)
Your engineer gets access to your repos, issue tracker, and build system, plus dev kits or remote access to your lab. Work starts in your next sprint.
Continuous Support and Scaling
We stay in touch on quality and pace for the whole engagement. Add firmware testers, cloud engineers, or dedicated Rust developers as your roadmap grows, or scale down after launch.
Our Hiring Models
Dedicated Embedded Software Developers
Hire a dedicated embedded software developer who works only on your product for the long term. This model suits platforms that need one person to own the firmware across releases and board revisions.

Book a Free ConsultationFrequently Asked Questions
What does an embedded software engineer do?
An embedded software engineer writes the code that runs inside a device, such as a charger, sensor, or patient monitor. The job covers firmware, drivers, real-time tasks, and the update process that keeps devices secure after launch. Firmware engineers tend to work closer to the chip. Embedded software engineers often build apps on Embedded Linux or an RTOS.
How much does it cost to hire embedded software engineers?
Cost depends on seniority, location, and engagement model. The US Bureau of Labor Statistics put median pay for software developers at $133,080 in May 2024. Senior embedded specialists often earn above that, and benefits and recruiting fees raise the full cost further. With Entrans, you pay a predictable rate per engineer, and we share a quote after a short call about your stack and timeline.
Should I hire a dedicated embedded software developer or short-term support?
Choose a dedicated developer if your product will keep changing across board revisions and releases. Firmware knowledge builds over time, and you want it to stay on your team. Short-term or project support fits bounded work, such as a BSP port, an OTA rollout, or certification prep. Many teams start with a project and move to a dedicated engineer once the scope grows.
Can I hire an offshore embedded systems developer for hardware-dependent work?
Yes. We ship dev kits and target boards to the engineer, or connect them to your lab through remote debug probes and test rigs. Schedules overlap daily with your US team, and all work stays in your repositories under NDA. First bring-up on a brand-new board may still call for a short onsite visit or a hybrid setup.
Is C or C++ better for embedded software, and where does Rust fit?
C is still the default for small microcontrollers and most vendor SDKs. C++ suits larger firmware that gains from classes and templates. Rust is growing for memory-safe drivers and security-focused code, and the Linux kernel now accepts Rust drivers. Our engineers pick the language that fits your chip, toolchain, and safety needs.
