QRTECH designs embedded hardware and firmware for connected IoT devices and edge infrastructure in demanding industrial environments. The tech stack—Embedded C/C++, AUTOSAR, Zephyr, MQTT, LoRa, Bluetooth—reflects a focused hardware-first engineering culture; the absence of any application-layer or cloud tooling confirms they operate upstream of most SaaS vendors. Current pain points (scaling engineering, eliminating thermal design steps) paired with active projects in connected sensors and edge gateways suggest they're automating design workflows to support growth without proportional hiring.
QRTECH is a publicly traded Swedish engineering services firm founded in 1997, now part of the Embron group. They develop and industrialize products in electronics, power electronics, and embedded software—handling everything from early-stage concept studies to full production. Customer base ranges from small companies to multinationals across verticals requiring specialized product development. Work is split between client sites, their headquarters in Mölndal, and their Gothenburg office at Lindholmen. Core competency is applied research partnerships with industry and academia to deliver technically demanding solutions for harsh operating environments.
Primary stack: Embedded C/C++, AUTOSAR, ISO 26262, Embedded Linux, Zephyr, MQTT, and wireless protocols (WiFi, Bluetooth, LoRa, ZigBee, NFC). Also uses U-Boot bootloader, LwM2M, TLS/X.509 security, Yocto Project, systemd, and GitLab.
