What is Lemberg Solutions?

Lemberg Solutions was founded in 2007 in Lviv, Ukraine and has grown to a 200+ person team with additional offices in Hamburg, London, and Kraków. For a buyer evaluating who they'd actually work with, the firm's scale means dedicated engineers rather than shared generalist staff, backed by direct partnership status with NXP, STMicroelectronics, and Microchip and an in-house hardware lab the team uses daily for board bring-up. ISO 9001, ISO 27001, and ISO 13485 certifications reflect process discipline a hiring manager can expect from the assigned team, not just a company-wide policy on paper.

Lemberg Solutions works primarily with clients in Healthcare (FDA, HIPAA, IEC 62304, ISO 13485), Energy, Transportation & Logistics, Manufacturing & Industrial IoT, Consumer Electronics, Automotive sectors. Its primary differentiator is: 200+ engineers across four countries with direct NXP, STMicroelectronics, and Microchip partner status and an in-house hardware lab.

Lemberg Solutions pros and cons

Advantages Things to consider
+200+ engineers give a hiring team dedicated staff rather than shared generalists spread thin across many clients -Does not run mass production in-house, so a manufacturing handoff still needs a separate team
+In-house hardware lab means the assigned team validates board bring-up itself rather than waiting on a separate department -Does not handle regulatory certification filings on the client's behalf
+Direct NXP, STMicroelectronics, and Microchip partner status is a credential the actual engineers on a project can draw on directly -No published minimum engagement figure, so team-size and cost fit needs a direct scoping conversation
+ISO 9001, ISO 27001, and ISO 13485 certifications reflect process discipline built into daily team workflow, not just policy documents
+Full IP and source code rights transfer to the client on delivery
