How to become an entry-level embedded systems engineer?

Entry-level embedded systems engineers work toward earning the qualifications of an experienced embedded systems engineer through a qualifying bachelor’s degree program, usually in computer science or computer engineering, and on-the-job training. Some positions require you to seek an industry-related certification during the course of your training, like Certified Automation Professional (CAP) from the International Society of Automation (ISA). Entry-level embedded systems engineers need high-level knowledge of computer hardware and software and their related electrical and mechanical components, the ability to work efficiently with a team, and experience with the C programming language. An employer may specify other necessary skills related to the job, such as skills with the Python language or HMI programming skills.
