Embedded System information

What is the difference between Embedded System vs Firmware Engineer?

AspectEmbedded SystemFirmware Engineer
Required CredentialsBachelor's in Electrical, Computer Engineering, or related fieldsBachelor's in Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or related fields
Work EnvironmentHardware and software development for embedded devicesDeveloping low-level code for hardware devices
Industry UsageConsumer electronics, automotive, medical devicesEmbedded devices, IoT, consumer electronics

Embedded System and Firmware Engineer roles often overlap, but embedded systems focus on designing complete hardware-software solutions, while firmware engineers specialize in writing low-level code that runs directly on hardware. Both roles require similar educational backgrounds and work in related industries, but their specific focus areas differ.

Is embedded system still a good career?

Embedded system engineering remains a strong career choice due to ongoing demand for devices in automotive, healthcare, consumer electronics, and industrial automation. Professionals with skills in C/C++, real-time operating systems, and hardware integration are highly valued, and the field offers opportunities for growth in IoT and embedded software development.

Embedded Firmware Engineer 

Overview 

We’re looking for a full-time remote firmware leader to own embedded software for a renewable energy inverter. You will be responsible for owning the design of firmware for real-time control, communication, telemetry and test automation. This role works closely with hardware and test engineers to define requirements, build robust test procedures, and ship production-grade firmware.  

 Key Responsibilities 

  • Own firmware technical roadmap, architecture decisions, and delivery for a multi-controller embedded system.  
  • Lead planning, estimation, prioritization, and execution of firmware workstreams across new features, validation, and field issues.
  • Define firmware requirements and test procedures to validate new features. 
  • Develop and maintain firmware on Microchip PIC16 & PIC32 MCU’s using MPLAB X, MCC and X32 toolchain.
  • Deliver safe and deterministic behavior for closed loop control systems.  
  • Build and maintain firmware validation tooling and automation.
  • Drive coding standards and best practices across code reviews, documentation, testing, and long-term maintainability 

Required Skills & Experience  

  • A bachelor's degree in Electrical & Electronic / Software Engineering or equivalent.
  • Strong firmware experience working with embedded C & microcontrollers for 3+ years. 
  • Experience with communication protocols SPI, UART, I2C & peripherals such as ADCs & PWMs. 
  • Proven ability to debug complex issues.  
  • Ability to define system behavior using state diagrams and translate them into deterministic embedded firmware.
  • Ability to read electrical schematics, datasheets, and functional diagrams.
  • Expertise in control theory, feedback/feedforward loops, and frequency response.
  • Proficiency with Git workflows (branching, reviews, releases) 

Nice To Haves 

  • Experience with TCP/UDP networking and Wi-Fi module integration in embedded systems.
  • Jenkins or comparable CI/CD release pipelines.
  • Experience using JIRA for backlog, requirements, and feature tracking.
  • Experience with Python and scripting languages.
  • Knowledge of higher-level programming languages and experience using AWS cloud services.
  • Understanding of Grid Technologies and renewable energy system.
  • Experience with Power Electronics, oscilloscopes, and digital multimeters.
