Embedded systems architecture is the structure that defines how embedded hardware and firmware interrelate to perform a specific task. Unlike architectures within other types of computer systems, embedded system architectures are often limited by the size, weight, power, and cost of the end application. These more stringent design requirements create additional challenges for engineers during product development. 
For over 20 years, Barr Group engineers have helped companies from start-ups to Fortune 500 companies design and implement embedded system architectures that promote safer, more secure products. Our extensive knowledge of industry best practices for embedded system design and our experience with product design, technical consulting, and engineering reviews for safety-critical applications have helped teams develop more robust IoT as well as non-connected electronic devices.
Our engineers work with a wide range of tools and components such as ARM-based microcontrollers, and chips from makers such as Microchip, Atmel, Texas Instruments, Intel, ST Micro, NXP, Freescale, and Renesas. All hardware and software related process, architecture, tool, and component recommendations are vendor agnostic and based solely on achieving the best technical performance for our clients.
Applications supported by Barr Group include, but are not limited to the automotive electronics, consumer electronics, industrial automation, medical devices, mobile / wireless, and telecommunications devices.
