Ferrous Systems Joins SOAFEE Initiative

Ferrous Systems is proud to join the SOAFEE initiative to help accelerate the shift toward open, safe, and scalable architectures for software-defined vehicles. We believe SOAFEE plays a critical role in uniting silicon providers, software vendors, and system integrators around a common framework for edge computing in automotive and beyond. As advocates of modern, memory-safe software development, we see SOAFEE as a powerful force for aligning embedded safety requirements with cloud-native best practices—exactly where the industry is heading.

• Brings deep expertise in Rust for safety-critical systems, including toolchain maintenance, compiler validation, and ecosystem leadership.
• Supports SOAFEE’s mission with Ferrocene, a qualified Rust toolchain built for automotive, aerospace, and other regulated domains.
• Helps make Rust a first-class language in embedded edge platforms, bridging low-level system safety with high-level orchestration.
• Collaborates across the SOAFEE ecosystem to enable modern language integration alongside traditional C/C++ pipelines.
• Accelerates the development of safe, efficient, and scalable edge compute frameworks for next-gen vehicle platforms.

Founded in 2018 in Berlin, Ferrous Systems is a leading provider of Rust-based software solutions for embedded and safety-critical systems. The company plays a key role in advancing Rust for use in regulated industries through the development of Ferrocene, the first open-source Rust compiler toolchain qualified to meet the highest automotive, industrial and medical standards. Ferrous Systems is an active contributor to the Rust project and the embedded Rust ecosystem, and collaborates closely with industry partners to deliver reliable, memory-safe software solutions for high-assurance systems worldwide. It also offers training, consulting and long-term support to help development teams adopt Rust with confidence. To learn more, visit ferrous-systems.com.
