We’re passionate problem-solvers who live and breathe embedded software.

Since 2003, we’ve been building smart, reliable solutions for the consumer electronics world, from the core of the operating system to the interfaces users interact with every day.

Based in sunny Carlsbad, California, our team specializes in software for smart TVs, set-top boxes, and cloud-connected devices. We work across the entire stack: bootloaders, Linux kernels, drivers, user-space applications, and Android platforms to bring cutting-edge experiences to life. If it’s running on your screen, there’s a good chance we’ve helped make it faster, smarter, and more secure.


With over 100 million devices powered by our code, we take pride in what we build and how we build it. Our engineers are fluent in C, C++, Java, Python, and more, and we’re known for delivering clean, scalable solutions with rock-solid QA to match.

But more than anything, we’re a team that cares about great software, meaningful partnerships and helping our clients bring bold ideas to market quickly, confidently, and without compromise.
Let’s build something great together.

— The JetHead Team
