How much do embedded programmer jobs pay per hour?

As of Aug 21, 2026, the average hourly pay for embedded programmer in the United States is $31.57, according to ZipRecruiter salary data. Most workers in this role earn between $26.92 and $35.58 per hour, depending on experience, location, and employer.

What is an embedded programmer?

Embedded programmers are software developers who specialize in writing code for embedded systems—computers designed to perform dedicated functions within larger mechanical or electrical systems. These programmers typically work with hardware like microcontrollers, sensors, and other specialized devices, often using languages such as C or C++. Their work ensures that devices like medical equipment, automotive controls, consumer electronics, and industrial machines operate reliably and efficiently. Embedded programmers must have a strong understanding of both software development and hardware integration.

What skills and qualifications are needed to thrive as an embedded programmer?

To thrive as an Embedded Programmer, you need a solid background in computer science or electrical engineering, strong proficiency in C/C++ programming, and experience with microcontroller architectures. Familiarity with development tools like debuggers, oscilloscopes, version control systems (e.g., Git), and real-time operating systems (RTOS) is typically required. Problem-solving, attention to detail, and effective communication are essential soft skills that set high performers apart. These skills and qualities ensure reliable, efficient code development and smooth collaboration within multidisciplinary engineering teams.

What are common challenges faced by embedded programmers when integrating hardware and software components?

Embedded programmers often encounter challenges such as limited memory, processing power, and real-time constraints when integrating hardware and software. Debugging can be more complex due to the interaction between code and physical devices, requiring specialized tools like oscilloscopes or logic analyzers. Additionally, ensuring compatibility across various hardware platforms and managing low-level drivers can add to the complexity, making strong problem-solving skills and attention to detail essential in this role.

Job description

Team Description:

Join the Brain Interfaces Embedded Systems Team and be part of an elite team of engineers working on high-performance, safety-critical embedded systems for the next-generation brain-computer interfaces. You will have the opportunity to work closely with chip designers, electrical engineers, and software engineers on a small, fast-moving team.

Job Description and Responsibilities: 

We are looking for experienced, hands-on engineers who are interested in exploring what's possible in highly powered and latency-constrained environments. Firmware is the kernel of operation for the implant, and you have the chance to define and implement features that have a significant impact on the product's capabilities. As an Embedded Software Engineer, you will be expected to:

  • Own complex challenges from definition to solution
  • Utilize your ability to work cross functionally to deliver safety critical systems while considering power, radio, and thermal requirements
  • Take ownership of products and/or core features; from planning and design to execution and testing
  • Build on your fundamental understanding of hardware while contributing to bare-metal firmware
  • Embrace a fast-paced iterative environment that prioritizes shipping manufacturable solutions 

Note: The team is hiring embedded engineers at all levels, both junior and senior. What matters most is evidence of exceptional abilities and a drive to succeed.

Required Qualifications: 

  • Bachelor's degree in computer science, electrical engineering, related field, or equivalent experience 
  • 1+ years of experience with embedded systems (including internships)
  • Proficient in embedded C or Rust
  • Ability to design bare-metal embedded systems in highly constrained environments
  • Strong Electrical Engineering fundamentals 
  • Signal processing fundamentals 
  • You find enormous challenges exciting and enjoy discovering and defining problems as much as solving them
  • You deliver. You may enjoy thoughtful conversations about problems and perfecting design, but in the end, you know that delivering reliable manufacturable solutions matters
  • You are a cross-disciplinary team member. You are excited to work with and learn from chip designers to neuroscientists

Preferred Qualifications: 

  • Experience with embedded stacks for ARM cores
  • Experience with safety-critical systems
  • Experience with FPGA development and testing
  • Experience with RF, BLE, TCP/IP stacks from a practical embedded perspective
  • Prior work or experience with applied cryptography and embedded systems security
