Synchrotek Doo Beograd

What Synchrotek Doo Beograd does

Synchrotek d.o.o. is a privately held Serbian embedded systems engineering company founded in 2004 and headquartered in Belgrade, with a second engineering site in Novi Sad. The firm delivers cross-disciplinary engineering services and proprietary products to automotive OEMs and Tier-1 suppliers (Volkswagen Group via Digiteq Automotive, Hanon Systems, Visteon, Rheinmetall) and to industrial automation customers. Its core technology stack spans firmware, hardware design, driver and application development, AUTOSAR Classic and Adaptive platforms, MATLAB/Simulink model-based design, real-time operating systems (Zephyr, FreeRTOS, Embedded Linux), and safety-critical software development under ASPICE and ISO 26262.

The company's proprietary product portfolio centers on μVOS, a lightweight OSEK-compliant RTOS with AUTOSAR elements and a lock-free kernel targeting ultra-low memory microcontrollers (as low as 2KB RAM); μLinc, a USB-to-CAN-FD/LIN interface with native C/Python/.NET drivers; a model-based motor control solution integrating with μVOS for electric drives; and a thermal management system for electric and hybrid vehicles that has demonstrated a 37% winter range extension in serial production at Hanon Systems. Edge AI (sensor fusion, hardware-aware optimization, real-time inference for safety-critical systems) is the most recently formalized expertise line, launched as a 2025 capability push.

Synchrotek monetizes primarily through B2B professional and managed services — Custom Product Development, Dedicated Teams, Nearshoring/Outsourcing, Team Augmentation, Tech Consulting, and Support & Maintenance under multi-year contracts — with enterprise-field-sales go-to-market targeting Central European automotive OEMs and Tier-1s from a Serbia-based nearshore delivery base. Credentials relevant to its segment include TISAX (recertified September 2025), ISO 27001, ISO 9001, ISO 26262 functional safety expertise, ISTQB Gold Partner status, and ASAM membership. A 2022 strategic partnership with Digiteq Automotive (a Volkswagen Group member) drove 280% revenue growth and remains the company's most material commercial anchor.
