AI is more than just hype: it is already being used today - in everyday life, in business, for society.
Tailor-made & seamless integration
Do you develop products in which software and hardware have to work together perfectly? Then embedded software development is the key to success. MaibornWolff accompanies you through all phases with an interdisciplinary team: from conception to development and integration. Always individual, efficient and tailored to your hardware - in line with our guiding principle:
Less Technology. Better Business.
Our specialists bring together expertise from three worlds: Cloud, software and hardware. This expertise results in a high-performance, stable and scalable product.
Our embedded software is tailored precisely to your hardware, your requirements and your industry. We develop individual solutions that take into account any specifications regarding memory space, performance, energy consumption, etc.
From firmware to middleware, from embedded Linux to C/C++ to Docker - we think about your embedded software from start to finish. We integrate ourselves directly into your team and share our knowledge openly and transparently.
We focus on testability, maintainability and long-term support. Thanks to test automation, code reviews and modern SBOM management, we develop software that remains performant and secure for years.
30+ embedded projects, 10 years of experience, modern engineering approaches and interdisciplinary know-how make us a strong partner - even for the most complex requirements.
Whether in industry, production, automotive, medical technology or household appliances: embedded software is at the heart of modern technologies. It enables real-time control, smart functions, update capability and automation.
Embedded system software development from MaibornWolff is aimed at anyone who needs powerful, stable and scalable software for their hardware or wants to improve existing solutions. Our approach also shortens your time-to-market.
We also support small companies that have a great idea but don't know exactly how to get there. We provide a complete team with the necessary expertise in embedded system software development to turn your vision into reality.
Our customers are usually medium-sized manufacturers with smart product ideas, corporations with high demands on integration and quality and companies with existing embedded systems that want to scale or modernize.
We help you to make embedded system development more agile, faster and more secure . We overcome many hurdles together:
We meet these challenges with a broad range of services in embedded software development. This includes
Health checks to determine where you stand,

We know exactly how to work with certifiers and document everything precisely. We guarantee data security by separating production and development data. We test in the environment with non-relevant data.
Our approach to the development of embedded software is always individual:
One-size-fits-all does not exist with us. In the course of every collaboration, we take into account technical and organizational requirements as well as maximum practicality and efficiency.
We take a close look at your problems and challenges, advise, deliver, test and iterate with you and your team - after all, we are part of it ourselves. Our Development of Embedded Systems usually goes through the following typical phases:
Our embedded developers are highly consultative and capable of integration and speak to both the product owner (PO) and your developers as equals.
Everyone treats each other with respect. I was never the working student, but the developer like the others. My opinion counted just as much.

Embedded development refers to the creation of software that runs directly on embedded systems - i.e. devices with special hardware and clearly defined tasks. The focus is on real-time behaviour, energy efficiency, memory optimization and close coupling to the overall system.
Embedded software is software that is integrated into electronic devices and controls their function. It is tailored to specific hardware, particularly efficient and often safety-critical - e.g. in cars, household appliances or medical technology.
