Embevity

Embevity is a Poland-based embedded systems and FPGA development shop founded in Gliwice. The company specializes in hardware and firmware engineering for product companies building systems where custom silicon, signal processing, or advanced embedded architecture matters. Their leads have over 10 years of commercial development experience, with some holding PhD-level credentials. They work across FPGA design, embedded software, digital signal processing, hardware prototyping, and R&D—often as the end-to-end technical partner for companies whose core business is not embedded systems.

Clients span medical imaging, space (Curium One satellite), quantum cryptography, industrial measurement, EV charging infrastructure, and real-time wireless positioning systems. Embevity's track record includes working with Planetary Transportation Systems, Amsterdam Scientific Instruments, Optics11, and ASK Industries. The firm holds Xilinx Adaptive Computing Partner status and also supports Intel, Microchip, Lattice, and Efinix platforms.

Services and capabilities

Embevity's main offering is full-stack embedded systems development. On the FPGA side, they design with Verilog, VHDL, and HLS C++ using Xilinx Vivado/Vitis, Intel Quartus, Microchip Libero, and Lattice Diamond. They cover high-speed interfaces (PCI Express, XAUI, MIPI CSI/DSI, Aurora, JESD204B), System-on-Chip (Xilinx Zynq 7000 and UltraScale+, Intel Cyclone), and digital signal processing (adaptive filters, control algorithms, data correction).

Beyond FPGA, they deliver hardware design (schematics and PCB), firmware, embedded software with real-time OS support, and algorithm development. They do testing (functional, non-functional, EMC, failure analysis), prototyping, and handle mechanical design through partners. Project teams are structured around a Project Manager, Lead Engineer, Developers, and QA, with size scaling to scope.

Their development process runs seven stages: Specification, Research, Design, Prototyping, Development, Testing, and Production. They combine fixed-price waterfall delivery (for clear-scope projects) with Agile tools and cadence—using Jira, Confluence, and Git—to handle research-heavy or evolving requirements. They offer three contract types: fixed-price (with WBS and risk mitigation budget), Time & Material (for vague scope or heavy R&D), and hybrid (research phase followed by fixed development). All intellectual property transfers to the client upon full payment.

Documentation and handover are explicit strengths. They deliver source code, schematics, PCB files, CAD models, and build systems tailored so clients can continue development independently without proprietary dependencies.

Notable work

Curium One satellite: Embevity developed key components for Planetary Transportation Systems' GPU-powered 360° high-definition camera launching on Ariane 6 in 2023. The client cited "great engineering input" and plans future space projects together.

Amsterdam Scientific Instruments multi-FPGA camera system: Embevity developed firmware and embedded software for a flagship camera with multiple 10 Gigabit Ethernet outputs. The client noted they "could start development soon" and handled hardware debugging and provided testing tools, resulting in the system running "at high data rates."

DTU CryptQ quantum cryptography: For a university quantum key distribution hardware project, Embevity ported algorithms from Matlab to FPGA with "very good skill level and transparent communication," earning continuation into phase 2.

Other named projects include OptiFender measurement unit, laboratory instrument controller, UWB real-time location systems (AIRTLS), EV charger datalogger and controller, smart street lighting nodes, RFID ATEX tags, and infrasonic hemodynographic equipment. Clients like Optics11, ASK Industries, and Salvi Lighting Barcelona praised their ability to learn domains quickly and suggest improvements beyond spec.

How they work

Engagements begin with discovery and estimation. For fixed-price projects, Embevity builds a Work Breakdown Structure with risk coverage; for T&M work, they start quickly with loose scope and adjust via Agile standups (daily, weekly, or monthly as needed). A dedicated Project Manager leads each engagement and tracks hours and budget burn. They communicate "fast and sincerely," a theme repeated across client testimonials. All materials are delivered with clean, dependency-free code, full documentation, and build systems. IP transfers to the client. NDAs are supported. Time to start depends on scope definition and team availability; prospects should expect 2–4 week ramp-up in typical cases.

Team and credentials

Embevity is registered as Embevity Sp. z o.o. and is based in Gliwice, Poland. They are an AMD (Xilinx) Adaptive Computing Partner and a listed Zephyr OS ecosystem vendor. Team size is not disclosed on their website. Lead engineers carry 10+ years of commercial experience; some have PhDs. They receive 4.5-star client ratings based on testimonials and communicate in English (all case studies and client quotes are in English, suggesting fluency). No formal certifications like ISO 27001 or SOC 2 are mentioned in the source material.
