Telecom measurement and embedded systems for network infrastructure
NC GROUP operates three subsidiary brands (NET CHECK, NC SYSTEMS, NC PLAN) focused on telecom infrastructure measurement and embedded systems development. The tech stack spans low-level embedded work (STM32, ARM, C/C++, JTAG debugging) through high-level telecom software (5G, LTE integration) and emerging ML (TensorFlow, PyTorch, Hugging Face) — suggesting a shift from pure measurement hardware toward AI-driven network quality analysis. Hiring velocity is accelerating with 8 engineering roles open, heavily weighted toward senior and lead levels, indicating active scaling of technical depth rather than headcount.
NC GROUP is a Berlin-based private company founded in 2009 that develops measurement equipment and software solutions for telecom operators and infrastructure providers. The group combines three operational units: NET CHECK handles network measurement, NC SYSTEMS focuses on embedded firmware and hardware integration, and NC PLAN manages project delivery and consulting. Active projects span 5G network integration, STM32 firmware development, Rohde & Schwarz measurement system deployment, and international measurement campaigns. The company serves primarily German and European telecom markets, with pain points centered on scaling solutions to new network standards, integrating 5G capabilities, and improving measurement accuracy across fragmented spectrum environments.
NC GROUP uses embedded tools (STM32, Qualcomm, MediaTek, ARM, C/C++, JTAG, GDB), telecom standards (5G, LTE), DevOps (Git, Scrum, Waterfall), cloud (AWS, Azure, GCP), and ML frameworks (TensorFlow, PyTorch, Hugging Face). KiCAD and Eagle handle hardware design.
Projects include 5G network integration, STM32 embedded firmware, telecom measurement system commissioning (Rohde & Schwarz, Swissqual), network quality optimization, and international measurement campaigns. Internal focus areas include scaling AI for network analysis and improving measurement infrastructure.
