TOPIC builds embedded systems, firmware, and custom silicon for tier-1 industrial and manufacturing clients. The stack (C/C++, Python, Docker, Kubernetes, AWS/Azure/GCP, FPGA) reflects deep systems work paired with modern DevOps—a mix that signals both legacy hardware expertise and cloud-native deployment. Active hiring is almost entirely senior engineers and technical leads (29 of 30 roles), suggesting they're scaling delivery capacity on complex projects rather than building junior cohorts.

TOPIC Embedded Systems, based in Best, Netherlands, develops embedded firmware, application software, FPGAs, and hardware-software systems for global high-tech manufacturers. The company operates across three service modes: on-site client consulting, project work at TOPIC's offices, and proprietary embedded products (Miami and Dyplo) used as components in client solutions. Active projects span safety-critical embedded applications and driver control software. The team faces ongoing challenges around real-time performance, hardware-software integration complexity, and meeting safety certification standards. With ~135 employees and accelerating hiring (22 roles posted in the last 30 days), TOPIC is scaling delivery capacity.
Primary languages: C, C++, Python. Infrastructure: Docker, Kubernetes, AWS, Azure, GCP. Specialized: FPGA design, AMD platforms, Robot Framework for testing.
