What is the difference between Embedded Controller vs Firmware Engineer?

AspectEmbedded ControllerFirmware Engineer
Required CredentialsTypically an Electrical or Computer Engineering degree, knowledge of embedded systemsComputer Science or Electrical Engineering degree, programming skills in C/C++
Work EnvironmentHardware-focused, working with microcontrollers and embedded systemsSoftware-focused, developing low-level code for devices
Industry UsageConsumer electronics, automotive, industrial equipmentConsumer electronics, IoT devices, embedded systems

Embedded Controllers and Firmware Engineers often work closely but focus on different aspects of embedded systems. Embedded Controllers primarily handle hardware integration and real-time control, while Firmware Engineers develop the software that runs on these devices. Both roles require similar technical backgrounds but differ in their core responsibilities and work environments.

What does an embedded controller do?

An embedded controller is a specialized microcontroller that manages specific hardware functions within electronic devices, such as controlling power, input/output operations, and system monitoring. It runs firmware to ensure the device operates correctly and often requires knowledge of programming languages like C and hardware interfaces. Embedded controllers are commonly used in consumer electronics, automotive systems, and industrial equipment.

About

We're looking for a Senior Embedded Software Engineer to drive software architecture across a diverse portfolio of embedded and connected products. This role blends system-level design, hands-on development with real hardware, and technical leadership within a growing engineering organization.

You'll work across software, firmware, and physical systems-shaping architecture, solving complex field issues, and mentoring engineers-while helping scale engineering practices and product quality.

This role includes limited travel (~4 weeks/year) for on-site development, troubleshooting, and industry events.

What You'll Do

Architecture & Technical Leadership

  • Lead evolution of software architecture across embedded and connected systems
  • Balance near-term delivery with long-term scalability, maintainability, and reliability
  • Drive design reviews, technical standards, and cross-team architectural alignment

Hands-On Development & System Debugging

  • Design, build, and debug software for embedded controllers, industrial systems, and HMIs
  • Work directly with hardware, including custom embedded systems and industrial controllers
  • Diagnose complex system-level issues spanning software, firmware, hardware, and real-world conditions

Testing & Quality Engineering

  • Elevate automated testing practices across teams
  • Design unit and integration testing strategies for embedded and application layers
  • Lead development of automated test systems to improve coverage, reliability, and release velocity

Mentorship & Engineering Culture

  • Mentor engineers through code reviews, pairing, and technical coaching
  • Promote strong engineering fundamentals and pragmatic problem-solving
  • Help build a culture of ownership, collaboration, and continuous improvement

Cross-Functional Collaboration

  • Contribute as a senior member of a Scrum team spanning multiple product lines
  • Partner with hardware, firmware, systems, and application engineers
  • Manage competing priorities and context switching while maintaining high standards

AI & Engineering Productivity

  • Help define and implement responsible use of AI in engineering workflows and products
  • Establish practical use cases, guardrails, and best practices
Technical Environment

You'll work across a wide range of embedded and connected technologies, including:

Embedded & Distributed Systems

  • CAN networks (J1939, CANopen, RV-C)
  • Ethernet-based communication
  • Cellular, Bluetooth, and remote diagnostics

Software & Platforms

  • Embedded C, Python
  • Mobile (iOS/Android), web interfaces, cloud systems, OTA updates

Control & Power Systems

  • Motor control (BLDC, PMAC)
  • Battery management systems (BMS)
  • Power conversion (DC-DC, AC-DC, inverters up to 50 kW)

Vehicle & Industrial Integration

  • Engine control, HVAC, PTO systems
  • Hydraulic, welding, and air compressor systems
What You Bring
  • Strong experience in embedded software development (C/C++ and/or Python)
  • Experience with microcontrollers (e.g., STM, PIC) and low-level systems
  • Background in system-level debugging across hardware and software
  • Experience designing automated testing systems (embedded or hardware-integrated)
  • Familiarity with MATLAB/Simulink for modeling or control systems
  • Experience with industrial controllers or PLC-like systems (nice to have)
  • Exposure to functional safety (SIL, ASIL) is a plus

Mindset:

  • Systems thinker who enjoys working across hardware and software
  • Pragmatic problem-solver comfortable with ambiguity
  • Strong communicator and collaborator
  • Invested in mentoring and growing others
Why This Role Stands Out
  • Work on real-world machines, not just software
  • Influence architecture, testing strategy, and engineering culture
  • Balance hands-on problem solving with long-term system design
  • Help shape how AI is responsibly integrated into engineering workflows
