These technicians work with both hardware and software components, ensuring that embedded devices such as industrial controllers, automotive systems, medical equipment, and consumer electronics function correctly. Their responsibilities often include diagnostics, firmware updates, hardware replacement, and collaboration with engineers to resolve complex technical issues.
