Edge AI Development Services
Sirin Software has built embedded products since 2014, with 100+ projects delivered by our own R&D team. As an edge AI development company, we put the intelligence on the device itself, so inference runs in real time with no cloud round trip. Model, firmware, and board come from one team, which software-only vendors cannot offer.
Awards
Edge artificial intelligence (edge AI) means the ML model runs on the device, an MCU, SoC, or gateway, instead of sending raw data to a server. Edge computing brings the compute to the data, so on-device inference happens in milliseconds, next to the source. Cloud AI still wins at training; AI at the edge wins on latency, privacy, offline operation, and traffic costs.
Our engineers run internal R&D on on-device decision-making, from NPU benchmarks to milliwatt always-on loads. Grand View Research projects the global edge AI market to grow from $30.0 billion in 2026 to $118.7 billion by 2033 at a 21.7% CAGR, driven by demand for real-time processing across IoT and industrial applications, with North America holding a 36% share.
Our Edge AI Development Services
Edge AI Consulting & Feasibility
We start where most edge projects fail: is the use case worth a custom device, and can the model fit the power budget? A short feasibility study scopes your custom edge AI development before you commit to silicon.
AI Model Development & Optimization
Our team tunes models for the constraints of edge inference: small memory, tight power, fixed latency. We then shrink them for the target chip until accuracy and frame rate meet spec on real hardware.
Computer Vision at the Edge
We build edge AI for computer vision: detection, tracking, and classification next to the sensor. Typical jobs are people counting, defect spotting, and driver monitoring, tuned per camera and lighting.
Embedded & Firmware Integration
Our developers wire the model into real firmware: sensor drivers, RTOS or embedded Linux, watchdogs, and OTA updates. The result is a device that survives a power cut, not a demo tied to a laptop.
Edge Hardware Design & Integration
We design the board around the model: NPU selection, camera interfaces, thermals, power rails for battery or PoE. Schematics and PCB layout stay in-house, so the model and the board share one roadmap.
Deployment, MLOps & Support
The fleet side ships too: model versioning, staged OTA rollouts, and drift monitoring. When data changes, you retrain and redeploy without recalling a unit.

FAQ
How much does edge AI development cost?
The budget depends on whether we build the model, the device, or both. Engagements start from $10,000; budgets on our Clutch profile run from $25,000 to about $1 million. A feasibility study is the cheapest way to a real number.
How long does it take to build an edge AI solution?
Feasibility takes weeks; a working prototype usually takes a few months. Our commercial programs have shipped production firmware and cloud in about 8 months; a full cycle with hardware iterations has run about 15 months.
Can AI models run on microcontrollers (TinyML)?
Yes. Microcontroller AI (MCU) is routine for us: quantized models of tens or hundreds of kilobytes run vision, audio, and sensor tasks on STM32- and ESP32-class chips. The trade is scope, one focused task per device at milliwatt power.
Which hardware do you use for edge AI: NVIDIA Jetson, Coral, or MCUs?
The answer is the device's job, not vendor loyalty. NVIDIA Jetson and NXP i.MX handle more demanding edge AI workloads, while NPU SoCs balance cost and speed, and MCUs win where power and price are hard limits. We benchmark the shortlist before you commit.
Do you develop both the AI model and the hardware?
Yes. Embedded AI development at Sirin means model, firmware, and board designed together, which is exactly the split an edge AI company like ours removes.
Can edge AI work fully offline, without a cloud connection?
Yes. Inference runs on the device, so the core function needs no cloud connection. A network is needed only for extras: fleet updates, dashboards, long-term analytics.
