Thermal imaging systems for defense and law enforcement
Andres Industries builds thermal imaging hardware for defense and law enforcement, with a focused stack around embedded systems (ARM Cortex, STM32, Embedded Linux, FPGA, RTOS) and CAD (SolidWorks). The hiring profile is heavily skewed toward early-career engineers and manufacturing roles—18 interns, 8 junior engineers, plus 8 manufacturing staff—suggesting aggressive capacity-building for production scale-up. Active projects center on real-time image processing for battery-powered thermal cameras and next-generation product families (TIGIR™, PUMIR™, TILO™), with supply-chain pain points (procurement optimization, inventory management, supplier integration) typical of hardware manufacturers scaling manufacturing operations.
Andres Industries designs and manufactures thermal imaging products for defense and law enforcement markets, operating from Berlin. The company was founded in 1999 and is structured as a public company. Core competencies span embedded systems architecture, real-time signal processing, and mechanical design for rugged, field-deployable hardware. Current focus includes optimization of procurement and inventory processes, integration of new suppliers, and development of next-generation thermal camera platforms. The team is distributed across engineering, manufacturing, sales, operations, marketing, procurement, finance, and logistics functions.
The stack includes ARM Cortex processors, STM32 microcontrollers, FPGA, Embedded Linux, RTOS, C/C++, and SolidWorks for CAD. This combination supports real-time image processing on battery-powered devices.
Active development includes next-generation thermal imaging families (TIGIR™, PUMIR™, TILO™), real-time image processing systems optimized for battery operation, and associated optical components. The company is also investing in supplier integration and production optimization.
