Embedded System Development information

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as an Embedded System Developer, and why are they important?

To thrive as an Embedded System Developer, you need strong programming skills (C/C++), knowledge of microcontrollers, and a background in electrical or computer engineering. Familiarity with real-time operating systems (RTOS), debugging tools, and industry-standard protocols is typically required, along with certifications like Certified Embedded Systems Engineer (CESE) being advantageous. Problem-solving, attention to detail, and effective teamwork are crucial soft skills for success in this field. These competencies ensure reliable, efficient, and innovative embedded solutions that meet rigorous industry standards.

What is embedded system development?

Embedded system development involves designing, programming, and testing specialized computing systems that perform dedicated functions within larger mechanical or electrical systems. These systems are typically resource-constrained, operate in real-time, and are found in devices such as automobiles, medical equipment, home appliances, and industrial machines. Developers often work with low-level programming languages like C or C++, and must consider hardware constraints, power usage, and reliability. The field requires knowledge of both software and hardware to ensure seamless integration and functionality.

What is the difference between Embedded System Development vs Firmware Engineering?

AspectEmbedded System DevelopmentFirmware Engineering
Required CredentialsBachelor's in Electrical, Computer Engineering, or related fields; knowledge of hardware and software integrationBachelor's in Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering; focus on low-level programming
Work EnvironmentDesigning and developing embedded hardware and software for devices like IoT, automotive, medical equipmentWriting and optimizing firmware for microcontrollers and embedded chips
Industry UsageAutomotive, consumer electronics, industrial automationConsumer electronics, IoT devices, embedded systems manufacturing

Embedded System Development involves creating integrated hardware and software solutions for various devices, while Firmware Engineering focuses specifically on developing low-level code that runs directly on microcontrollers. Both roles require similar technical skills and often overlap, but Embedded System Developers typically work on broader system design, whereas Firmware Engineers concentrate on firmware optimization and implementation.

What are some common challenges faced by embedded system developers when working on cross-functional teams?

Embedded system developers often work closely with hardware engineers, software developers, and product managers, which can present challenges in communication and aligning technical requirements. Differences in development timelines, toolchains, and priorities may require adaptability and proactive problem-solving. Successful embedded system developers foster strong collaboration by clearly documenting interfaces, participating in regular cross-team meetings, and maintaining open channels for feedback to ensure project alignment and smooth integration.

Job description

Job Description:
Applicants must be authorized to work in the U.S.; Sponsorship is not available for this position at this time.
INNOVATE WITHOUT BOUNDARIES! At Milwaukee Tool we firmly believe that our People and our Culture are the secrets to our success - so we give you unlimited access to everything you need to create disruptive new technologies and solutions on our electrical engineering teams. Our Engineering Team is responsible for giving life to the batteries, motors, and electronics that power solutions changing the lives of our users. Every developmental phase of these critical components happens in-house under the watch of this team. We continue to invest in electrical engineering resources to design and develop leadership in electronic capabilities; something unique within the industry. And we're pushing the limits in firmware engineering, power electronics, embedded systems, machine learning, and the use of artificial intelligence.
Behind our doors you'll be empowered every day to own it, drive it, and do what it takes to design and develop the biggest breakthroughs in the industry. Meanwhile, you'll have the support and resources of the fastest-growing brand in the construction industry to make it happen.
Year after year, our team continues to make significant breakthroughs in the industry. We're just getting started. To learn more about our story click HERE
You'll also be DISRUPTIVE through these duties and responsibilities:
  • Execute a lead role in simulating, designing, and validating various AC/DC, DC/DC, and DC/AC power conversion topologies, with strong emphasis on embedded control architecture and digital implementation.
  • Work on complex projects from requirements and specifications including topology and component selection, schematic capture, PCB layout, embedded system design and firmware development (C-based) for real-time control, test plan development and execution of power electronic circuitry based on requirements.
  • Create new design documents, schematic, layout, bill of materials, firmware architecture, embedded software documentation, test plan and test results.
  • Design, develop, and debug embedded systems including MCU selection, peripheral integration, and control algorithms for power electronics applications.
  • Research and engage with prospective suppliers on selection of new technology.
  • Provide candid and effective communications up, down and across the organization on progress, barrier removal and escalation of business risks/opportunities.
  • Demonstrate Milwaukee Tools Culture of high performance and agility by independently creating Work Breakdown Structure for your work and driving to critical milestones.
