If the company has someone responsible for this ongoing embedded computer task, solutions managers should be able to answer the following questions:
How well is the engineer doing their job?
How much time are they spending doing it?
How do they distribute the SDK to other team members?
If this person (or a key person on the platform team) left the company, could someone step in and take over solutions effectively?
