Embedded programming that delivers mission-ready results
Norway’s defence companies are scaling fast, and the need for specialised embedded programmers is outpacing supply. Itera is ready to help. As a Norwegian company with secure, nearshore delivery, we provide the embedded software capacity and expertise you need to move faster without compromising quality or security.

Shortage of embedded talent
Defence programmes demand software that is robust, deterministic and deeply integrated with hardware. Itera’s teams work at the interface between software and electronics, designing and implementing firmware and embedded applications that perform reliably under constraints.
From C/C++ on microcontrollers to safety-critical components and real-time systems, we help you build products that stand up to the toughest operational requirements.
The market confirms the urgency. Growth in the defence sector in Norway has created a sharp shortage of embedded talent, with many roles remaining unfilled for months. Leading companies can solve the shortage by being increasingly open to external partners who can deliver quickly, securely and at scale.

Why Itera for embedded programming
Itera brings exactly that combination: Norwegian governance, proven delivery models, and access to embedded specialists who understand both the engineering and the context in which defence products must operate.
Security and trust sit at the core of our model. Work can be performed onshore, nearshore or in hybrid set-ups, depending on your requirements—always under Norwegian leadership, with clear controls, audited processes and well-defined interfaces. For programmes that require local presence, we integrate seamlessly with your teams. For those that benefit from distributed velocity, we scale up with secure nearshore capacity. In all cases, you get transparent ownership, predictable delivery and measurable outcomes.
What we deliver
How we work with you
Care. Challenge. Create.
That’s how change happens.
Expect a partner that listens first, challenges assumptions where it improves outcomes, and co-creates a delivery plan that balances time, risk and capability. Start quickly with a focused squad to unblock a critical path—or scale a dedicated team to accelerate a full workstream. Either way, you maintain control while we increase speed and resilience.
Quick primer: embedded programming and C++
Embedded programming is the development of software that runs on dedicated physical devices or systems to perform specific functions—often with strict constraints on memory, power, timing and reliability. It typically involves close interaction with hardware (registers, peripherals, sensors, communication buses) and must deliver predictable behaviour.
C++ (along with C) is the dominant language family in embedded development because it enables fine-grained control over memory and performance while supporting modern abstractions for maintainable code. Used well, it delivers stable, efficient and testable systems under real-time and resource-constrained conditions.
Get in touch
If your organisation needs embedded programming capacity and you’re open to engaging outside Norway while keeping a Norwegian mother company accountable, Itera is your partner for mission-ready delivery. Let’s build capability, reduce risk and ship with confidence.
