Why outstaff your chip and swipe reader project?

Direct hiring burns budget and months of recruitment while the market moves. With Smartbrain outstaffing you unlock instant access to a bench of senior C engineers already proven on EMV, NFC and POS firmware. We remain Employer-of-Record, so you avoid payroll tax, equipment, training and compliance overhead. Flexible monthly extensions mean you scale squads up or down without severance. Our dedicated Customer Success crew tracks KPIs, keeps knowledge inside Git, and swaps talent in under 24 hours if needs change—something an in-house contract can’t match. Focus on roadmap, not résumés.

What Tech Leaders Say

Smartbrain dropped a senior C engineer into our POS refactor within 36 hours. He crushed the ISO 7816 parsing bug and integrated contactless fall-back logic. Velocity jumped 27%, freeing my core team for roadmap features.

Liam Carter

CTO

Redwood Payments Inc.

Our transit gates demanded sub-200 ms swipes. The augmented C duo from Smartbrain profiled driver code, applied DMA optimizations, and trimmed latency by 43 %. Onboarding finished before our HR pack was even approved.

Sophia Nguyen

Director of Engineering

MetroTransit Systems

Smartbrain's C contractors rebuilt our EMV kernel, passing Level-3 certification on first try. Flexible month-to-month engagement meant we kept them only until in-house staff were ready—saving roughly $120k in fixed salaries.

Michael O'Connor

Product Owner

RetailDrive Solutions

PCI + HIPAA compliance scared us. Smartbrain placed an embedded C specialist versed in TLS off-load chips. He hardened encryption without throughput loss, letting us launch our new bedside payment terminals on schedule.

Industries We Serve

FinTech & Payments

Chip and swipe reader C developers build EMV kernels, implement PCI-DSS encryption and optimize transaction paths for digital wallets. Augmentation supplies experts fluent in PIN-pad firmware, key-management and contactless fall-backs—skills hard to source directly.

Retail POS

Augmented C talent integrates bar-code, NFC and chip and swipe reader modules into omni-channel checkout stations. Tasks include driver maintenance, receipt printer control and inventory sync while keeping store uptime at 99.99 %.

Healthcare Terminals

Bedside payment and patient-ID kiosks rely on chip and swipe reader authentication. Outstaffed C engineers tackle HIPAA-aware cipher suites, secure bootloaders and real-time OS patches without locking budgets into full-time roles.

Transportation & Ticketing

Turnstiles, parking meters and fare validators require fast, durable chip and swipe reader firmware. Augmentation covers CAN bus integration, anti-tamper shields and offline-first design for unreliable networks.

Hospitality

Hotel kiosks need seamless guest check-in/out with chip and swipe reader support. Contracted C pros handle mag-stripe fall-back, loyalty card encryption and PMS API bridges—delivered on flexible monthly terms.

Manufacturing IoT

Factory floor tablets use chip and swipe reader modules for operator authentication and parts tracking. Augmented C teams craft low-latency drivers and ruggedized firmware that survives extreme temperature and vibration.

Telecom Payments

Vending machines and public phone kiosks collect micro-payments via chip and swipe reader. Outstaffed C specialists compress kernel size, enable remote OTA updates and assure continuous GSM connectivity.

Smart Vending

C developers integrate chip and swipe reader hardware with telemetry boards, handling inventory gating and instant refunds. Augmentation avoids warehouse payroll spikes during rollout peaks.

Parking & Tolling

Gate controllers accept cards through rugged chip and swipe reader interfaces. Contract C engineers write moisture-proof firmware, EMV L2 logic and cloud sync, billed only for implementation months.

chip and swipe reader Success Stories

Client: Global POS Manufacturer

Challenge: Legacy firmware caused 700 ms transaction delay on every chip and swipe reader dip.

Solution: Two Smartbrain-augmented C experts refactored the TLV parser, moved cryptography to hardware AES, and introduced zero-copy buffers.

Result: 63 % latency reduction, freeing one extra checkout lane per store.

Client: Metropolitan Rail Operator

Challenge: Swipes exceeded firmware queue, causing entry bottlenecks at chip and swipe reader gates.

Solution: Augmented trio of C engineers rewrote interrupt handling and added DMA, hitting real-time SLA without hardware refresh.

Result: 2.7× transactions per second, saving $3.2 M in kiosk replacements.

Client: National Hospital Chain

Challenge: New bedside payment units with chip and swipe reader needed PCI & HIPAA dual compliance in 4 months.

Solution: Smartbrain supplied a security-focused C squad that built secure boot, AES-256 storage, and FIPS-validated RNG.

Result: Passed audits 5 weeks early; breach risk score dropped by 92 %.
