What is Lemberg Solutions?

Lemberg Solutions is a 200+ person embedded and full-stack engineering firm founded in 2007 and headquartered in Lviv, Ukraine, with additional offices in Hamburg, Germany, London, United Kingdom, and Kraków, Poland. At 200+ people, it sits well above the smallest boutiques on this list but far below the multi-thousand-engineer generalist firms — a size where embedded is still unambiguously the firm's core business, not one line item competing for resourcing against unrelated business units, while still having enough bench depth (electrical engineering, firmware, embedded Linux, FPGA, connectivity, edge AI, cybersecurity) to staff a program with several parallel workstreams. ISO 9001/27001/13485 certification and named clients (Astronics, Caltech, Speede, Ferno, Cellink, Bosch Rexroth) back the claim with checkable references rather than scale alone.

Lemberg Solutions works primarily with clients in Healthcare (FDA/HIPAA), Energy (battery/EV chargers), Transportation & Logistics, Manufacturing/Industrial IoT, Consumer Electronics, Automotive, Agritech sectors. Its primary differentiator is: Sized to keep embedded as an undivided core focus while still fielding multiple parallel workstreams, backed by ISO certification and named checkable clients.

Lemberg Solutions pros and cons

Advantages Things to consider
+Large enough (200+) to staff multiple parallel workstreams without embedded competing internally against unrelated business units for resourcing -Does not manufacture at scale — teams wanting one specialist agency through mass production will still need a separate manufacturing partner
+ISO 9001, ISO 27001, and ISO 13485 certifications give a specific, checkable quality signal beyond team size alone -Does not carry regulatory certification itself — supports documentation but the client retains ownership of the certification process
+Named clients (Astronics, Caltech, Speede, Ferno, Cellink, Bosch Rexroth) support reference-checking before committing -No published rate card — cost comparison against smaller boutiques or larger generalists requires a direct quote
+Full IP and source code transfer to the client on delivery, standard across every engagement
+Named public case studies with specific outcomes rather than generic capability claims

Lemberg Solutions vs alternatives

How Lemberg Solutions compares to the other top Embedded Software Development agencies.

ByteSnap Design UK teams wanting direct access to the engineers... 38-person team small enough that buyers work directly with the engineers holding named semiconductor partnerships, not routed through account-management layers 4.5 Full comparison
Sirin Software Semiconductor teams wanting a boutique with genuine multi-protocol... 11-50 person boutique with named depth across six wireless protocols — a narrower, more specific claim than most much larger generalist firms make about connectivity work 4.4 Full comparison
Witekio Teams wanting chip-to-cloud breadth without stepping up to... Deliberately broader than the smallest boutiques — full chip-to-cloud stack coverage while staying small enough that embedded remains the entire business 4.4 Full comparison
emlix Industrial teams wanting Linux depth with more capacity... 60+ engineers gives more concurrent-program capacity than the smallest boutiques while remaining entirely focused on the embedded Linux layer, unlike a diversified generalist practice 4.3 Full comparison
