Ros Spoliak

I am a founder and lead embedded engineer at Cybed GmbH.

Cybed GmbH develops and secures embedded products – from microcontroller firmware to embedded Linux – with a focus on market-ready, robust systems for IoT, industry, and e-mobility.

We support teams that need to deliver quickly but want to avoid carrying technical debt or security risks into the field: clean architecture, stable firmware, reliable updates, and traceable technical documentation. Typical projects range from device integration (BLE/Wi-Fi/LTE, cloud/app connectivity) to Yocto/Buildroot-based Linux systems, hardware-level debugging, performance optimization, and series readiness.

Embedded Cybersecurity & EU CRA Readiness

For manufacturers of connected products selling in the EU, we help build security basics that will become relevant under the upcoming Cyber Resilience Act (CRA): Secure Boot, signed firmware updates/OTA, SBOM readiness, and fundamental vulnerability handling processes. The goal is not "paper compliance" but practical implementation that truly relieves engineering teams.

How we work

- Quick technical assessment → clear risks, priorities, next steps

- Implementation as a fixed-scope package or as an engineering extension

- Focus on pragmatism: "ship-ready", testable, maintainable

Key Competencies

- MCU Firmware (ARM/AVR, RTOS like FreeRTOS/Zephyr)

- Embedded Linux (Yocto/Buildroot/ELBE), BSP/Bring-up, Drivers/Integration

- Connectivity & Protocols (CAN/J1939, BLE, Wi-Fi, LTE, Modbus)

- OTA/Update Mechanisms, Robustness & Field-Reliability

- Embedded Security: Secure Boot, Signing, SBOM Readiness, CRA-oriented Gap Checks
