Onward Tech is a 2,500-person engineering outsourcing firm serving North American and European original equipment manufacturers. The tech stack—AWS IoT, Embedded C, React, PostgreSQL, Power BI—reflects a mixed embedded + application engineering operation, while the hiring velocity skews heavily toward sales (7 of 16 active roles) and senior-level positions, signaling an aggressive push to move upmarket and capture larger OEM accounts.
