Abstract	The relationship between organizational structure and software architecture is a crucial but often overlooked aspect of product development in embedded systems companies. A well-aligned organizational structure can drive efficiency, collaboration, and innovation, while a misaligned structure may lead to architectural deficiencies, delays, and poor system integration. This paper explores how various organizational frameworks impact software architecture decisions in embedded product companies. It discusses notable examples, such as Conway’s Law, which links the two concepts and analyzes real-world case studies that demonstrate the benefits of aligning software development teams with system modules. The paper concludes with recommended organizational models proven to support optimal software architecture for embedded systems.
