What is the difference between Full Time Embedded Firmware Engineer vs Embedded Software Developer?

AspectFull Time Embedded Firmware EngineerEmbedded Software Developer
CredentialsBachelor's in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related field; experience with embedded systemsBachelor's in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or related; programming skills in C/C++
Work EnvironmentHardware-focused, working with microcontrollers, embedded systems, and real-time OSSoftware-focused, developing applications for embedded platforms, often in simulation or on hardware
Industry UsageElectronics, automotive, consumer devices, medical devicesConsumer electronics, IoT devices, industrial automation

The main difference is that Full Time Embedded Firmware Engineers primarily develop low-level firmware directly interacting with hardware, while Embedded Software Developers focus on higher-level software applications running on embedded systems. Both roles require embedded systems knowledge, but the firmware engineer's work is more hardware-centric.

Job description

Job Description
Job Summary:
We are seeking a highly skilled Embedded Firmware Engineer to design, develop, and optimize low-level software for advanced embedded systems. This role involves working across the full firmware stack-from bare-metal development to RTOS-based wireless systems-while interfacing closely with hardware to deliver high-performance, low-power solutions. The ideal candidate has strong experience in embedded Linux, Zephyr, device drivers, and hardware/firmware integration.
Duties/Responsibilities:
  • Design, develop, and maintain embedded firmware for microcontrollers and SoCs

  • Develop and debug firmware on bare-metal and RTOS platforms (e.g., Zephyr)

  • Work with embedded Linux systems, including kernel configuration and user-space applications

  • Implement and optimize hardware drivers (I2C, SPI, UART, GPIO, ADC/DAC, PCIe, etc.)

  • Develop and validate hardware/firmware interfaces and bring-up new hardware platforms

  • Design and implement low-power management strategies

  • Collaborate with hardware, systems, and software teams

  • Perform board bring-up, debugging, and system validation

  • Troubleshoot system-level issues

  • Contribute to architecture decisions and documentation

Experience and Skills
Skills/Abilities:
  • Experience with low-power embedded system design preferred

  • Familiarity with bootloaders, secure firmware development, and over-the-air (OTA) update processes preferred

  • Experience with embedded Linux build systems such as Yocto and/or Buildroot preferred

  • Proficiency in Python or other scripting languages for automation and development support preferred

  • Knowledge of wireless communication technologies, including BLE, Wi-Fi, and Cellular connectivity preferred

  • Understanding of applicable safety and cybersecurity standards preferred

  • Demonstrated strong analytical and problem-solving skills

  • Ability to collaborate effectively within cross-functional teams

  • High level of attention to detail and commitment to quality

  • Self-motivated with the ability to manage priorities independently

  • Strong verbal and written communication skills

Education and Experience:
  • Bachelor's or Master's degree in relevant field

  • 3+ years of experience in embedded firmware development

  • Strong proficiency in C/C++

  • Experience with embedded Linux, Zephyr RTOS, and bare-metal development

  • Experience writing hardware device drivers

  • Understanding of microcontroller and processor architectures

  • Familiarity with SPI, I2C, UART, CAN, USB, Ethernet

  • Experience with Git and debugging tools
  • Experience in design and optimizing of low-level C/C++ embedded software for GNSS/GPS tracking systems

Physical Requirements (With or without reasonable accommodation):
  • Sitting: Over 70%
