Flexible Engagement & Engineering Services
At Real Thing Software, we seamlessly adapt to your engineering workflow. Whether you need elite embedded specialists to embed within your existing team, autonomous developers to own a sub-system, or an external lab to handle physical hardware brings-ups, we deliver.
We provide the exact mix of engineering muscle and infrastructure required to accelerate your time-to-market.
On-Site Engineering & Co-Development
When you are dealing with sensitive prototypes or tight hardware-software integration loops, you need experts on the ground.
- Team Augmentation: We place our senior engineers directly into your R&D facilities to work side-by-side with your existing team.
- Process Alignment: We seamlessly adopt your internal tooling, issue trackers (Jira/GitLab), and engineering cultures.
- On-Floor Troubleshooting: Perfect for high-friction phases like initial board bring-up, safety audits, and systems integration.
Hybrid & Remote Team Integration
Accelerate your development with friction-free, cross-border remote collaboration.
- Active Sprint Participation: We join your daily stand-ups, architecture reviews, and sprint planning sessions as core contributors.
- Global Delivery Models: Backed by our Controlled Goods Program (CGP) registration, we securely collaborate on sensitive defense and aerospace code across borders.
- Continuous Integration (CI): We connect directly to your remote hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) farms and automated test pipelines.
Turnkey Component Ownership
If your internal team is stretched thin, pass the block ownership to us. We operate autonomously to design, code, and test discrete software modules.
- Isolated Work Packages: Hand over a specific requirements document, and we will build the standalone module (e.g., a custom protocol stack, driver or a secure bootloader).
- Full Traceability: Every turnkey module is delivered with a complete engineering artifact package including compliance reports and unit test logs.
Our In-House Embedded Testing Lab
You don't need to ship us your rare, expensive reference boards if you don't want to, but if you do, we have the infrastructure to support them. Real Thing Software maintains a fully equipped, secure engineering lab capable of executing complex physical debugging on our own site.
Our laboratory capabilities include:
- Protocol & Logic Analysis: High-bandwidth logic analyzers and mixed-signal oscilloscopes for deep-dive bus troubleshooting.
- Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) Benches: Custom-built test rigs for automated, long-run reliability and stress testing.
- Power Optimization Tools: Precision power-profiling equipment to audit and minimize microampere-level draw in battery-constrained IoT and medical devices.
- Secure Storage: Dedicated, access-controlled storage for sensitive client prototypes, boards, and proprietary hardware.
