[@destinyaghafua8198]

Thanks for your help, im currently in my 3rd in college for EEE. You made me motivated to choose embedded software, just ordered my first arduino and stm32 kit. Currently in advanced C programming course right now. Beginner steps but i guess we have to start from somewhere

[@GreidiAjalik]

You're welcome! Enjoy your studies and good luck with everything! Cheers!

[@azdinator]

@@destinyaghafua8198 Change your study.What that guy doesn't tell you in that you're not gonna have that much money for what you're doing. You'll spend hours and hours and weekend trying to figure out how to solve a problem. And nobody will give a shit on that. It's always ok when it's your choice and you have no wife and no children. Life starts getting really hard when you have a wife and your first child. You'll see that you're not going to pays a house with your salary and you'll have to save money each month trying to remain in positive. You don't see that at the beginning. But at the end, it makes a lot of differences. Don't ruin your life for that.

@@destinyaghafua8198 I work in Switzerland where the salary are high compared to other countries.

[@MEWOVER9000]

I have zero regrets about going into this field. Something I might add is that there are a lot less young guys going into firmware/embedded software development. This field requires a very low level understanding of hardware that most newcomers never needed to develop. As a result, the average age of an embedded software engineer is somewhere around 40, compared to that of a conventional software engineer; around 30. There are a lot of old guys in this field with dated paradigms that are retiring, leaving a ton of opportunity for young guys to get in. As for salary, you absolutely can be earning more than a conventional software engy. Just ask for it. There is an ever shrinking supply of firmware guys and demand is still very high. There have been job postings in my town that haven't budged for 6+ months because there is simply no one to fill them. You have a lot more leverage in this field than you might think.

[@chrisstjohn2234]

I think all Software Engineers need to keep current with the latest ideas. TDD wasn't a thing when I got my first job but now I'm evangelising it to my team. Ditto agile development and CI which work really well for embedded systems.

[@JoeBob189]

Bro, thanks for the advice! I'm looking for a job right now, and I didn't think about it that way. I have a very good chance at getting the job I applied for. It is literally what I've been doing for the last 4 years, and the posting has been up for over a month. I'll definitely apply what you mentioned

[@Mooooov0815]

Any tips for going into this field? I've been a fullstack webdev for the past few years primarily doing Go on the back and TS on the frontend. While Go is somewhat inspired by C, C on embedded is a very very different beast. I have a halfway decent understanding of how hardware works and an okay understanding of electronics (communication protocols, usecases, etc). But I have absolutely no idea where to start with this

[@joro407]

​@@Mooooov0815 Same here ? I am also a full-stack web dev. I had the opportunity back in my university to choose between Software and Embedded systems but went for software, because easier realisation/more opportunities. But now I remember how much fun I had while programming arduinos, leds, sensors, etc.

[@chrisstjohn2234]

The most satisfying part of being an embedded software engineer for over 30 years? Seeing something I've worked on for sale in a shop, or even better watching somebody use it. You also get to play with great gadgets: I had a camera phone before they were available on the market because I was working on it and testing it at weekends! I could tell you what my latest gadgets are but that might get me fired/sued ;-) I sort-of agree with the remote working thing but the upside is you're a lot more likely to get to travel. I spent much of my 20s crossing the Atlantic just because I was the young guy who didn't have any home commitments and could jump on a plane with a few hours' notice. Downsides: yes, I get the "thinking about it at the weekend" thing. Even whilst asleep at night! Also you're constantly pushing boundaries with the hardware and trying to make the impossible... possible! Sometimes that doesn't work out which is a disappointment.

Hi Greidi. As a fellow embedded software engineer, I am enjoying your content a lot 😀. I work in Singapore and the salary difference between software engineers and embedded software engineers is quite high because there are a lot of banks and financial institutions here and they tend to pay a lot. But the embedded work is very exciting. In my previous company, we made a low power device and all our focus was on optimization and prolonging battery life but in my current company, I am working on a train system where the focus is on quick and reliable data transmissions. That is what I love about embedded software. Every job is a new adventure!

Hello

[@faridnubaili7917]

The most annoyed part is we cant focus on programming, we should ensure that the hardware, jumper etc. Installed properly, beside doing programming.

[@jp_engineer]

I've been working with both hw and fw, and over time I feel more like doing only firmware and not doing hardware at all. I consider that I will migrate totally to application software; what I mean is that someone else creates the HAL and ensures the hardware is fine. I like to not have to cut tracks and make circuits test for a first released prototype. If it's not for work then I like it hahah... I love hardware but It suits me well to have it as a hobby. Surely my list Cons: - I still face people very resistant to using git properly and using new tools ( things like writing scripts for automating tasks). - It is hard to convince people that a good hardware tool is an investment. - Pro: - These days you can work everywhere (the Visa process is fast and renewal is simply easy). - Well paid ( If ur salary is low, search for another place, because the area is well paid in general at least in the US and Europe) - we are not going to be unemployed for a long time. If so, be sure the world crashed for real. - Can be fun too

I have to disagree on the pay. Unless you are working at a silicon manufacture as an embedded software engineer, expect to be 20K to 80K below someone who does back-end server work for example.

With AI's current state, I don't think it will be much longer before software engineering becomes significantly easier. This will inevitably either lower wages, or number of people actively employed. I do believe we will see software engineers suffer due to AI in the near future. Since embedded involves hardware, it will be more difficult for AI to have the same impact. It WILL impact embedded eventually, but it should be slower

In my country, embedded software engineering is kind of underdeveloped in general. Actually, atm, i'm working like an embedded linux engineering, specially in networking devices. Most of the time, i work with SoC because the hardware is provided by another company and they build a framework based on Openwrt (or something like that), driver for their hardware and so on. Our jobs is to build anything we want base on that framework. Sometime we have to fix various bugs in driver which require understanding of hardware stuff like registers, I/O mode, etc... Unfortunately, students here don't like this field because it's hard to learn. They chase for IT cuz there are lots of short-term Web programming, AI programming out there, which take just 3-6 months and they can have a job and get PAID FAR HIGHER THAN THE HELL COMPLICATED ONE that i have to learn for years: Electronics, telecommunication, Operating system, Linux programming,... My country is underdeveloped so there is just a few companies can invest in embedded engineering, a lot of requirement and investment for tools, Labs, specific tester (cuz generic tester can't understand how to test a small shit device like router). (Meanwhile for normal software, just a computer, some server and basically, it's done). Feeling kind of unfair. But I just love touching the hardware and feel the heat on of the Chip.

My question is - are they actually easier in CS for you or why do you think it would be easier? Did the coding classes come easier to you?

What do you personally like the most? programming? doing schematics? electrical designs? something else?

It totally depends on the location where you live and work. For me after 4 years I was making ~120k per year as total compensation and this is in Rochester NY. You most likely won't get the same pay if you stick with one company, so gotta switch companies ever 1.5-2 years. I worked for a total of 3 companies in the 4 year period, each job change resulted with higher pay.

[@RESISTAGE]

the most important is that the market of engineers is so overpopulated that there's no demand at all. good luck finding a job that pays enough. maybe if u stay at parents basement... cause NY area pays only 80k. as much as I pay for rent I couldn't even do it at 200k

[@GreidiAjalik]

are you talking about NYC? Cost of living in NY state, outside of NYC area, is significantly cheaper than NYC... Also the salary for entry level might be 80k, but if you are already seasoned (few years of experience), you should expect to make 100k+ as base salary.

You could jump straight into it from college (at least I met several people who had done that) - otherwise, you can probably pick up the BASIC skills pretty quick if you've never touched development boards (maybe 1-3 months doing 10-20h per week in addition to your regular job).
