Product-first Embedded Systems Engineers
Working with vendors, we found one pattern that kept us wasting valuable time and resources: us having to bend to agency processes. We realized the problem wasn’t a lack of technical skill. It was a lack of empathy and ownership. The industry needed a new kind of engineering partner—one that didn’t just tick boxes in forms, but deeply understood and shared the client’s vision.
Driven by this conviction, Better Devices was founded.
We began lean. No office. No safety net. Temp contracts, and a dinner table stacked with 50 devices to test. Soldering at night. Calls at 1:00 a.m. Flights to fix a single failing device because one user’s pain can become everyone’s pain.
Better Devices was founded on a simple principle:
The technology at the heart of a product should be as brilliant as the vision behind it.
We are a team of passionate, senior-level engineers headquartered in Berlin, Germany, dedicated to helping the world’s most innovative companies build successful and reliable devices.
We move beyond transactional vendor relationships to build deep, collaborative partnerships. Our success is measured not by lines of code delivered, but by the success of your product in the market.
Our strength lies in our team—a curated group of specialists with decades of experience solving the hardest problems in embedded systems.

Key Values that Shape our culture
Customer-centric mindset in everything we build. We embody ideas and exceed expectations
We innovate and invent our way out of problems. An invention can be as simple as a new way to visualize data.
We take pride in teamwork and team achievement. We empower one another to do great things.
We embrace technology. We leverage technology heavily in our work. We automate what we know to focus our attention on the unknown.
When we have ownership of something, you can trust it will be delivered. We leave no stone unturned; learn new things, travel places, push boundaries, anything in the way of getting the job done
We build what we can be proud of.
Excellence isn’t an afterthought; it’s built in from the start.
We make decisions that stand the test of time. We take a longer-term view on people and ideas.
Have fun, stay curious, do what you love, and love what you do. We create an environment where everyone feels welcome and have a good time building together
We build a strong understanding of the fundamentals. We question the norms, dive deep into the physical truths.
Optimizations can only do so much; you can’t optimize a horse into a car.
The only real failure is inaction. We always think of pragmatic next steps and execute on them.
We experiment, fail, learn, invent, improve; repeat. This cycle is our engine of innovation. The quicker it runs, the more we innovate.
When we commit to something, we deliver. Our work speaks louder than our words.
We cut distractions, prioritize what moves the needle.
We look back at our work and look for optimizations. We remove steps and make things simpler. Think of a voyage to discover new lands; the first path is never the best path.
We foster trust through honesty about our abilities; internally and externally. We foster autonomy, give ownership, and believe in each other’s potential.
