Embedded systems and software for defense, telecom, aerospace, and medical electronics
ADENTIS designs embedded software and hardware systems for highly regulated industries—defense, aerospace, telecommunications, and medical devices. The stack reveals deep firmware expertise: C, ARM, STM32, FreeRTOS, AUTOSAR, and PCB design tools (Altium, Cadence, KiCad) dominate, with recent adoption of Buildroot and Yocto signaling a shift toward more modular Linux-based embedded platforms. Engineering-heavy hiring (126 of 176 active roles, mostly mid to senior level) paired with acute pain around recruiting engineering talent and managing safety-critical projects suggests the company is scaling delivery capacity while struggling to fill specialized firmware and hardware roles.
