Embedded Systems from the Hanseatic City

PICKPLACE is a Hamburg-based service provider and development partner that develops embedded systems for industrial companies in the city.

Our office is located in the west of Hamburg, in Osdorf am Born. Just a few minutes away is Blankenese, one of the most famous and elegant districts in the city. These contrasts are typical of Hamburg: international business, Hanseatic down-to-earthness, and a strong industrial base.

Many products from Hamburg's industry are based on proprietary electronics and embedded software. The development of such systems involves much more than just programming – it ranges from hardware architecture and firmware to integration into complex devices.

  • Development of Embedded Hardware and Electronic Platforms
  • Firmware Development on Microcontrollers in C and C++
  • Development with FPGA and DSP Systems
  • System and Platform Architecture for Embedded Devices
  • Integration of sensors, actuators, and communication interfaces
  • Porting and refactoring of existing embedded software
  • Implementation of Requirements from Cybersecurity and Functional Safety
