How to become an embedded Linux engineer?

To start a career as an embedded Linux engineer, you need a degree related to computer programming and strong knowledge of Linux and the C and C++ programming languages. Most employers expect at least a bachelor’s degree in computer science, computer engineering, or a closely related field. While many accept applications from bachelor’s degree holders, a master's degree in computer science can make you a much more competitive candidate. Because you may work with touchscreen devices or hardware, you should take electrical engineering courses during your academic career.
