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.

Firmware development and lifecycle management

Experience with firmware development and lifecycle management for a variety of devices and platforms.

Platforms

  • ESP32: Espressif SoC family for Wi‑Fi/Bluetooth embedded products; bring-up, peripherals, and production firmware.
  • Nordic: nRF-series wireless MCUs (BLE/Thread/802.15.4); low-power design, radio integration, and field reliability.
  • NXP: MCU/MPU platforms (e.g., i.MX, LPC); secure boot chains, hardware bring-up, and long-term lifecycle support.

Autopilot

  • PX4: Autopilot stack integration and customization; drivers, parameters, and mission behaviors for real-world deployments.

Updates & provisioning

  • FOTA: Firmware-over-the-air update design and rollout strategies with staged deployments, rollback, and integrity checks.
  • TOFU: Trust-on-first-use provisioning models for device identity and keys, balancing UX with security constraints.

Device management

  • LwM2M: Lightweight M2M device management (provisioning, telemetry, remote commands) over constrained networks.
