Embedded systems and sensor product design for industrial automation
Keetops is a hardware-focused embedded systems company building sensors and custom automation equipment. The tech stack—Solidworks, AutoCAD, STM32 microcontrollers, and industrial protocols (CAN, RS485, Ethernet)—reflects a traditional embedded hardware design practice. Minimal recent hiring velocity and a 11–50 person structure suggest a project-driven operation, with engineering concentrated in junior and mid-level roles rather than leadership scaling.
Keetops designs and manufactures embedded sensors and custom automation mechanical equipment for industrial applications. The company operates out of Dongguan, Guangdong, China. Development is grounded in CAD tooling (Solidworks, AutoCAD), microcontroller programming (C/C++ on STM32), and industrial communication standards (CAN, RS485, Ethernet, USB). Current focus areas include sensor product development, custom automation equipment design, and mechanical product engineering. The organization is lean, with engineering roles concentrated below the lead level.
Solidworks and AutoCAD for mechanical design, Altium Designer for PCB layout, STM32 microcontrollers for firmware, and C/C++ for embedded development.
CAN, RS485, RS-232, I2C, UART, USB, and Ethernet—standard interfaces for industrial automation and sensor networks.
