Hardware and Software Support

Companies regularly require additional hardware and software support for development projects. The common causes are resource bottlenecks, short-term team absences, new development orders, or additional requirements in existing projects. In such situations, qualified embedded systems personnel are needed at short notice to continue ongoing projects.

PICKPLACE provides embedded developers for this purpose as part of a Service contract for Embedded Software and Embedded Systems Ready. Our engineers support existing teams, take over defined work packages, or work directly on ongoing development projects.

Personnel for Embedded Systems

You should seek hardware and software support when you encounter issues such as: **Hardware Issues:** * Your computer or device won't turn on or is unresponsive. * Components like the keyboard, mouse, printer, or monitor aren't working correctly. * You're experiencing performance problems (e.g., slowdowns, crashes) that seem to be hardware-related. * There are unusual noises coming from your computer. * You need to install or upgrade hardware components. * Your device has been physically damaged. **Software Issues:** * Applications are crashing, freezing, or not launching. * You're receiving error messages you don't understand. * Your operating system is behaving unexpectedly. * You're unable to install or update software. * You suspect a virus or malware infection. * You need help configuring software or understanding its features. * You're experiencing compatibility issues between different software programs. * Your software is outdated and needs updating or licensing.

Our support is provided by experienced developers and specialists in embedded systems. Companies access additional Embedded Software Personal back when developers are needed on short notice or existing teams need to be expanded.

Typical profiles that are part of a Embedded Software Services Agreement or Embedded Systems Service Contract are used, are:

  • Embedded Software Developer (C, C++, Embedded Linux)
  • Embedded Software Architects
  • Hardware Developer for Embedded Systems
  • PCB Layout Developer
  • Embedded Hardware and Software Test Engineers
  • EMV / EMC Specialists
  • Cybersecurity Experts for Embedded Systems
  • Embedded Platform Systems Engineers

The developers provided typically have several years of project experience and can bolster existing teams at short notice or take on defined work packages.

Critical Factors for Embedded Systems Personnel

The need for additional embedded software personnel often arises at short notice during a development project. Deadlines, new requirements, or personnel changes necessitate the expansion of existing teams. In such situations, we provide embedded developers as part of a Embedded Software Services Agreement or Embedded Systems Service Contract ready to take over ongoing work and support existing teams.

Typical situations where companies need additional embedded engineering personnel:

  • additional need for embedded software personnel in ongoing projects
  • short-term developer outage
  • Resource constraints in hardware or software teams
  • new development orders or additional work packages
  • Support for project peaks or milestones
  • additional capacities for maintenance, care, or product development

Hardware & Software Support Operating Model

Our support is typically provided within the scope of a Embedded Software Services Agreement or Embedded Systems Service Contract.

  • short lead times for project deployment
  • Availability typically within 1-2 weeks
  • Integration into existing development processes and toolchains
  • Provision of individual experts or multidisciplinary engineering teams
  • Predominantly senior engineers with experience in embedded systems

Our projects are in a hybrid work model implemented

  • direct collaboration with existing development teams
  • Small share on-site at the customer's location
  • predominantly remote-oriented development work
