NTQ Europe solves these challenges by offering structured, domain-aligned embedded services. Our teams speak both software and hardware, ensuring faster integration, lower rework, and better control over your embedded roadmap. With experience across medical, automotive, and industrial sectors, we understand the regulatory, performance, and lifecycle pressures that come with building at the edge.
Why Choose an Embedded Team Model?
When building complex embedded systems, how you structure your development capacity matters. This table compares three common approaches to help you find the model that best fits your timeline, control level, and technical depth.
| Criteria | In-house Hiring | Vendor Outsourcing | Embedded Team (NTQ Europe) |
| Team Control | Full autonomy over team, but requires full-time internal management | Limited transparency; communication through vendor PM | Engineers fully embedded in your workflows with direct communication |
| Time to Ramp-up | Long recruitment cycles (2–6 months) | Quicker ramp-up, but may face misalignment during onboarding | Fast onboarding (1–2 weeks) with pre-screened, domain-aligned engineers |
| Technical Specialization | Niche skills often hard to source locally | Depends on vendor availability | Engineers selected for specific domains (IoT, BSP, Image Vision, etc.) |
| IP & Security | Full control within internal teams | Risk of shared resourcing across clients | Dedicated team with signed NDAs and isolated environments |
| Scaling Flexibility | Hard to scale quickly, especially for short-term needs | Scaling may be limited to contract scope | Scale up/down easily with project phase and workload |
| Team Continuity | High continuity if internal retention is strong | High risk of rotation or team reassignment | Stable team structure with retention focus and onboarding continuity |
| Cost Efficiency | High salary and overhead costs | Pricing can vary and may lack transparency | Offshore cost structure with clear monthly billing and performance metrics |
Embedded Delivery Process
Our delivery model helps clients scale embedded development teams fast, while staying in control of quality, cost, and communication. Here’s how it works:
1
Identify Needs
We start by understanding your product vision, technical requirements (e.g. firmware, image processing, IoT protocols), and team structure. This helps us shape the right hiring profiles and delivery setup.
2
Customize Solution
Based on your context – automotive, industrial, healthcare, etc.- we assemble the team with the right tech stack (e.g. Yocto, FreeRTOS, Zephyr, TensorFlow Lite) and define a collaboration model that works for your workflow.
3
Implement Seamlessly
Your selected team is embedded into your process, using your preferred tools and cadence. Our technical managers ensure quick ramp-up and provide guidance to avoid delivery delays or mismatches.
4
Train & Align
We conduct onboarding sessions, toolchain alignments, and sprint dry runs to ensure the embedded team understands your product context and quality expectations from day one.
5
Optimize & Scale
Through regular reviews, we track performance and proactively recommend changes. Whether you want to expand scope, add edge AI specialists, or rotate resources, we scale the team as your product evolves.

FAQs
What are embedded services?
Embedded services are specialized solutions that are integrated directly into existing systems to enhance their functionality. Rather than being standalone, they work within the infrastructure already in place, improving processes like automation, data management, or system integration. These services are designed to operate seamlessly behind the scenes, ensuring smooth day-to-day operations while adapting to changing business needs.
What is the typical timeline for implementing an embedded solution?
The timeline for implementing an embedded solution depends on its complexity and scope. For small-scale projects, such as simple integrations, it typically takes 4 to 6 weeks. Medium-scale projects, involving more customization or integration, may take 2 to 4 months. Larger, more complex solutions that require significant planning and development can take 6 months to a year. Each project is unique, and timelines are adjusted based on specific business needs and technical requirements.
How does your team provide ongoing support after the solution is deployed?
After deployment, our team provides ongoing support in three key areas: system performance, issue resolution, and updates. We monitor system health to identify potential performance bottlenecks or security risks. When problems arise, we troubleshoot and resolve them to restore functionality quickly. Additionally, we conduct regular system updates to improve performance and address any emerging business needs, ensuring the solution remains optimized and aligned with your goals.
What kind of businesses benefit from embedded services?
Businesses that benefit from embedded services typically have complex systems and a need for continuous optimization. They focus on efficiency, seeking seamless integration of new technologies without disrupting existing operations. These businesses are often in manufacturing, finance, e-commerce, or logistics, where system performance and real-time data management are crucial.
Are embedded services scalable as my business grows?
Yes, embedded services are designed to be highly scalable. As your business grows, these services can be adjusted to accommodate increased demand, new technologies, and evolving operational needs. With flexible architecture like microservices and cloud-based solutions, embedded services can expand seamlessly, ensuring performance remains optimal even as your infrastructure and customer base grow without requiring a complete overhaul.
