Elevate Aura writes firmware, device communication, companion apps and cloud telemetry for device companies in the United States. The work is done remotely from Chennai, India, under your NDA, with a fixed scope and an agreed daily overlap window.
Elevate Aura is a founder-led software studio in Chennai, India. For device companies in the United States we write embedded firmware in C/C++ or MicroPython, the communication layer over BLE, Wi-Fi, serial, Modbus or CAN, a companion app, and a cloud telemetry pipeline on Supabase or Azure.
We have no entity, office or staff in the United States and do not claim any. Everything is delivered remotely: calls in an agreed window, work in your repository, and testing on your hardware by whichever route we agree when scoping. Where travel is genuinely needed, it is your hardware team who has the lab, and we work to what they measure and report.
The scope is software only. PCB design, component sourcing, manufacturing, mechanical and enclosure work and hardware regulatory certification are not offered and are not implied. We deliver firmware, source, build instructions and documentation your team can use in its own regulatory submissions, and you own all of it.
The problems in an offshore engagement are almost never technical, which is why they are worth designing around first.
Questions wait a full day for an answer, and a week of work turns out to have been based on a guess.
Nobody wrote down what was included, so every disagreement becomes a negotiation at the end.
The contract never says plainly who owns the source, and that only matters when you want to leave.
Firmware is written against a simulator and meets your board for the first time after handover.
Your NDA signed before any specification, schematic or datasheet is discussed.
Controller, peripherals, behaviour and the software boundary agreed in your morning.
A written scope, deliverables and timeline, so changes are visible rather than assumed.
We agree how to test on your hardware, by sending a unit or reaching a rig in your lab.
A demo and a written update each week, plus a daily message thread in the overlap.
Source in your repository, build instructions, test notes and documentation.
Workflow: Your team keeps the hardware, the roadmap and the regulatory route, and hands over a defined firmware scope with a fixed plan.
Result: A release date that does not wait on recruitment.
Workflow: Wi-Fi or BLE connectivity, a React Native companion app and a telemetry pipeline are written together rather than by three suppliers.
Result: One person accountable for the whole path.
Workflow: Bring-up code is replaced with a defined state model, real error handling and tests run on boards shipped to Chennai.
Result: Firmware that behaves the same way every time.
Firmware and connected software.
Controller and communication work.
Measurement and reporting software.
A first product without a firmware team.
Connectivity added to existing lines.
Overflow work on a fixed scope.
No. Elevate Aura is based in Chennai, India, and has no entity, office or staff in the United States. Every engagement with a US company is remote, and we would rather say that plainly than let anyone assume otherwise.
India is ahead of every United States time zone, so our late afternoon and evening meet your morning. We agree a fixed live window for each project, usually your morning, and keep a written thread for anything that arrives outside it.
Yes, before any specification, schematic or datasheet is shared. Work can sit in the repository and cloud account you nominate, so credentials stay yours to issue and withdraw, and we name no customer publicly without written permission.
You do. Source, build and flashing instructions, test notes and documentation are delivered into your repository, and your team or another engineer can maintain the work without depending on us.
No. This is software only: no PCB design, no manufacturing or sourcing, no mechanical or enclosure work, and no hardware regulatory certification. Regulatory strategy and submissions stay with your team, and we provide documentation your team can use in its own submissions.
Tell us the controller, the scope and how your team likes to work. We will propose an overlap window, a fixed scope and a plan, and be clear about what a remote engagement does and does not include.
