Bear Metal

Engineering Tomorrow’s Systems

Bear Metal OÜ is an experienced systems integrator specializing in high-volume, low-latency data streaming, communications infrastructure, edge computing, hardware design, and embedded development.

We help unlock tactical, near-real-time data streams from decentralized edge devices and vehicles to fuel deconfliction, reconfiguration, Machine Learning, and AI, while ensuring interoperability with regulatory frameworks.

Known for implementing large-scale, mission-critical systems in Commerce and Automotive, we are expanding into Unmanned Vehicle Technologies. We develop secure, compliant, vertically integrated autonomous solutions for Europe while maintaining our commitment to reliability and innovation.

Values and how we work

“Build with, not for”

Building in the open, with others - quicker feedback loops, better solutions. Collaboration moves and influences industries forward. We are committed to delivering high-quality solutions and products that are not only technically sound but also aligned with our partners’ business objectives.

“Prototype quickly, iterate fast, then ship to scale”

Rapid iteration and rapid deployment are superpowers. Quick feedback loops are key to success and delivering value quickly. Also the only way to arrive at the simplest solution.

“Design for failure, then build for resilience”

We believe in building systems that are resilient to failure from first principles. Failure modes, degradation paths, and recovery strategies are all considered from the start.

“Solve problems at the right level of abstraction”

Don’t solve bad hardware or frame designs by compensating with more complex software. Think through integration points and clean layered architectures. Awareness of vertical slices is key to building robust systems.
