Automotive Engineering Services
Since 2004, we have been engineering custom automotive electronics and software: embedded systems for commercial trucks, buses, passenger cars, two-wheelers, off-highway vehicles, and even sea and river vessels.
Our portfolio includes successful projects for American and European automotive concerns: electronic control units for electric and fuel-powered vehicles, in-vehicle infotainment, video equipment integration for cars, and hardware and software connectivity solutions.
Devices and Embedded Systems
We help our customers create products for local and global markets: control units, integrated solutions and solutions for connected cars, video and ICE (in-car entertainment) systems, as well as solutions for specialised vehicles in various fields, including construction, agriculture, and mining.Â
Our embedded automotive solutions meet the industry's stringent requirements. We design hardware platforms for uninterrupted operation even under harsh conditions and write program code for fault-tolerant embedded systems (up to ASIL C as per ISO 26262).
In addition, we are focused on providing emerging solutions to our clients through the development of custom video solutions, connectivity, telematics, and e-mobility systems.
Automotive Software Development
We develop software in compliance with the strict requirements for safety-critical devices, such as AUTOSAR, MISRA, ISO 26262, ISO 25119, and other industry standards. With ASPICE processes and special software testing methodologies, our team creates extremely reliable systems.
Here are what we do for our clients:
Electronic control units (e.g., BCU, TCU) to control actuators, valves, and motors
Hardware and software for clusters, dashboards, telematic systems, connectivity systems
Image and video processing: dashcams, driver monitoring systems, passive safety systems, and prediction analytics
Cross-platform automotive solutions with WebAssembly (Wasm)
Interfaces based on Embedded Linux, Qt
Development of diagnostic and testing tools
Qt-Powered Development for Automotive
As an official tech partner of the Qt Group, we design UX and applications for the following systems:
- Instrument cluster
- Rear-seat entertainment
- Linux and Android IVIÂ systems
- Heads-up displays
- ADAS
- HVAC
Software Compatible with AUTOSAR, MISRA, and ASPICE
AUTOSAR, Automotive Open System Architecture
AUTOSAR is an international partnership that focuses on developing an open and standardized software architecture for automotive electronic control units (ECUs). The goal of this partnership is to ensure the availability, security, scalability, and portability of vehicle software platforms, thus guaranteeing maintainability throughout the product's life cycle.
MISRA, Motor Industry Software Reliability Association
ASPICE is a domain-specific quality model under ISO/IEC 15504. It helps software engineers define, implement, and evaluate the automotive industry product development process. We bring value to our clients by evolving demand satisfaction, risk reduction, and quality assurance. Our team is currently in the process of attaining the ASPICE L2 capability level.
ASPICE, Automotive Software Process Improvement and Capability dEtermination
ASPICE is a domain-specific quality model under ISO/IEC 15504. ASPICE serves for software engineers to define, implement, and evaluate the automotive industry product development process. We bring value to our clients by evolving demands satisfaction, risk reduction, and quality assurance. We are currently in the process of attaining the ASPICE L2 capability level.

Edge Computing for Automotive Devices and Software
Market problem
Designing and bringing innovative automotive products or software solutions to market are always associated with high risks. Customers often need more expertise, which can only be gained by successfully realising similar projects.
Benefits
We've participated in many innovative projects with bleeding-edge and time-tested technologies, which helped us devise an effective risk management policy. The average volume of such projects is around $300,000 - 400,000. Cooperating with us, a client can save an average of $100,000 in such cases and then use the savings to form the component base and the testing equipment.
Our solution
 Quality
High quality of service, increased project implementation speed, and assistance in implementing the final solution.
 Turnkey
Time and money savings in turnkey projects, QA at every stage, quick bug fixing, and project management.
 Support
Flexible cooperation models, mutual growth with a client, quick resolution of unplanned tasks, and integration of ready-made solutions.
"Promwad has strong capabilities to deliver project assets according to agreed-upon milestones, especially for projects where the shipment date cannot be changed. Their technical competence in Android AOSP was impressive.
Promwad's technical manager/PM provided overall project status and deliverables in time via Scrum process setup."
