IoT Development
Expert IoT development for connected devices, from custom hardware
to firmware development and cloud integration.
IoT firmware development services for connected devices
DMC delivers reliable, secure IoT firmware development for smart, connected products, while also supporting the broader IoT development lifecycle from edge devices to cloud integration. Whether you are launching a new IoT device, modernizing legacy firmware, or scaling an existing platform, our engineers help you build firmware that is production-ready, cloud-connected, and designed to evolve as your product grows.
We take a system-level approach to IoT firmware, designing software that runs reliably at the edge while integrating seamlessly with cloud platforms and backend applications. From device bring-up and hardware abstraction to secure communications and over-the-air updates, our firmware supports the full device lifecycle. The result is maintainable, scalable code that enables remote management, improves security, and reduces long-term support risk for connected device fleets.

End-to-end IoT development
IoT firmware is the foundation for secure connectivity, data integrity, and device lifecycle management. DMC develops firmware as part of a complete IoT development lifecycle, from device bring-up and connectivity to cloud integration, system-level support, and long-term operation. Our IoT firmware development services include, and can serve as the foundation for broader IoT system development:
- Embedded firmware development in C and C++ for microcontrollers and embedded Linux
- RTOS integration with FreeRTOS, Zephyr, and other real-time operating systems
- Secure bootloaders and OTA firmware update strategies
- Device connectivity using MQTT, HTTP/HTTPS, TCP/IP, CAN, BLE, Wi-Fi, cellular, and LoRa
- Low-level drivers, hardware abstraction, and performance optimization
- Power management for low-power IoT devices
- Security implementation, including TLS, certificates, encryption, and firmware signing
These capabilities enable reliable device communication and safe deployment at scale.
Cloud-connected IoT systems
DMC develops IoT firmware that integrates cleanly with cloud platforms and backend applications, and can also support backend system development to ensure smooth integration, device provisioning, data transmission, and remote management. Our engineers regularly integrate firmware with platforms such as:
- Microsoft Azure IoT Hub and Azure IoT Edge
- Amazon Web Services and AWS IoT Core
- Custom cloud and on-premise IoT architectures
This approach supports data collection, diagnostics, remote configuration, and automated updates across the device lifecycle, enabling complete IoT development from deployment through long-term operation.
Extend your engineering team with a partner who keeps projects moving

“We came to DMC with an idea, and finished the project with full development for circuit boards, firmware, and iOS and Android app development, for a product that was shipped out to almost 70 different countries. The wide range of engineering services they offer made it ideal for a new company, developing a new product, and also for us to grow with.
– Eli Lazar, SNOOZ
In addition, we are deeply appreciative for the people themselves at DMC, which extends beyond the work itself to create a place of talented engineers who are as much interested in a successful project, as they are in building authentic relationships and seeing you personally succeed. To be direct, it is their expertise that brought us to DMC, but it is the people that make us want to stay.”
