We design and deliver reliable embedded systems.
SIvA supports worldwide product teams with senior firmware and embedded Linux expertise — from first prototype to stable, maintained releases.
Trusted by teams building physical products:
A senior engineering partner for mission-critical real-time systems.
SIvA designs and delivers mission-critical real-time systems — from hardware design to embedded software and system integration. Founded in the early 1990s, we focus on deterministic behavior, long-term reliability, and maintainable solutions.
We work closely with your team to bring products from concept to stable, long-term operation — wherever in the world you build them.
Fields of expertise
From bare-metal firmware to embedded Linux platforms — senior-level capability across the full embedded stack.
Firmware & RTOS Development
Deep expertise in bare-metal and real-time firmware for safety-critical and performance-sensitive applications. We own the full cycle — from driver development to deterministic scheduling and long-term stability.
Deterministic task management, priority inversion handling, and latency optimization for safety-critical systems.
Peripheral drivers, HAL layers, communication stacks (UART, SPI, I²C, CAN) and custom silicon bring-up.
Sleep modes, clock gating, and power profiling for battery-powered and energy-constrained devices.
Secure boot chains, field update mechanisms, and rollback-safe firmware upgrade strategies.
Proven in safety-critical environments
15+ years maintaining firmware for fire detection and ground-fault systems deployed across Europe, Americas, and Oceania.
Embedded Linux
Full-stack embedded Linux expertise from BSP bring-up and Yocto layer development to kernel customization, user-space services, and long-term field maintenance.
Board support packages for new hardware, U-Boot configuration, device tree authoring, and kernel porting.
Custom layers, recipes, image customization, and reproducible build pipelines for production deployments.
In-tree and out-of-tree kernel modules, device drivers, real-time patches (PREEMPT_RT), and memory management.
Connectivity stacks, secure field update systems, container-based deployment, and remote telemetry.
From prototype to production Linux
We handle the complete path from initial hardware bring-up to hardened, field-deployed Linux images with defined update and rollback strategies.
Hardware Design
Electronic hardware design for embedded products — from schematic to PCB layout, prototype validation, and production handover. We design for reliability, manufacturability, and long service life.
Power architecture, signal integrity, MCU/SoC integration, and analog front-end design for sensors and actuators.
Multi-layer boards with controlled impedance, EMC considerations, thermal management, and DFM guidelines.
Bring-up support, hardware debugging, design-for-test, and structured validation before production release.
Design guidance for IEC 61508, functional safety requirements, galvanic isolation, and certification support.
Hardware that survives the field
Our hardware designs run in fire detection panels, industrial power meters, and traffic control systems — environments where failure is not an option.
System Integration
Bringing hardware, firmware, and software together into a coherent, validated system. We bridge the gap between disciplines and ensure the complete product behaves predictably in real-world conditions.
Coordinated development across PCB, firmware, and application layers to eliminate integration surprises late in the project.
CAN, Modbus, Profibus, Ethernet/IP, MQTT, and custom protocol implementation and integration.
End-to-end testing strategy, HIL (hardware-in-the-loop) test bench design, and field acceptance criteria.
GNSS integration, inertial measurement, and multi-sensor fusion for positioning and guidance applications.
Complete system ownership
We've delivered GPS guidance systems, industrial power measurement platforms, and traffic management nodes — systems where every layer must work in concert.
Quality & Reliability Engineering
Systematic quality practices that prevent defects, catch regressions early, and ensure products meet their reliability requirements over years of operation in the field.
Unit, integration, and system-level test architecture. Test-driven development and automated regression suites for embedded targets.
Build automation, hardware-in-the-loop pipelines, static analysis, and MISRA compliance enforcement.
Systematic debugging of intermittent failures, race conditions, memory corruption, and timing issues in deployed systems.
Telemetry design, structured logging, crash dump analysis, and real-time trace instrumentation.
Built for the long run
Products we maintain have run in the field for 15+ years. Quality practices from day one are what make that possible without heroic effort.
