What does an embedded software manager do, especially in a remote setting?

An Embedded Software Manager oversees teams that design, develop, and maintain embedded software—software that is built into hardware devices such as automotive systems, medical devices, or consumer electronics. In a remote role, they coordinate distributed teams, manage project timelines, ensure software quality, and facilitate communication between engineers and other stakeholders. They are responsible for technical leadership, resource allocation, and often work closely with hardware engineers to ensure seamless integration. Effective remote management also involves using collaboration tools and agile methodologies to keep projects on track.
