As an embedded sw engineer mostly working on real-time Linux platforms I can tell you there are two sides of the coin: It is a ton of fun working with hardware and seeing your products in the real world. Among that, we usually enjoy a lot of freedom in our working environment. However, it also is often frustrating if things are not working as planned. Debugging is hard, knowledge in dozens of technologies is needed (don’t underestimate this), you need to work with low level languages like C and ASM, complex to use APIs like EFI, write BSPs for poorly documented boards,… And when it comes to security, you really need to know what you are doing, as some things are hard to impossible to change once the devices are in the field.
thanks a lot, now i want to be an embedded system engineer even more now 😂.
you just have described you as a bad engineer
You forgot to mention, you also need HW knowledge. I've seen a lot of embedded SW people who have no idea about HW and can't do anything, because they don't know startup sequence of Cortex M family or other family. And when interrupt or errors occur, why they occur? You have to look into registers and documentation, what most softies don't do.
because they are gen z faiure generation of people, they are coders, they are influencerz and youtuberz. And after 5 years they are manager or change company for extra bucks@@alias914
@@alias914 yes, true. Especially when writing the BSPs you definitely need that. But there is an endless list of things you should know or at least have a domain expert in your team (like temperature ranges of components, HF radio, wearout of flash memory,...). There is always something new to learn.
The large amount of freedom is definitely true once you’ve built a couple systems. They can’t get rid of you when you’re the only one who understands how everything works.
Job security!! 🔒
I love embedded systems. I took classes such as Embedded systems software, real-time embedded systems, etc. It was really fun. Now I work as an embedded software engineer. It's fun every day.
That's awesome! Embedded systems are really cool, I am jealous!
Can you share a clear roapmap to become a embedded engineer
@@akashr5952Study computer or electrical engineering. Join a student design team as a firmware or electrical hardware engineer. Then get an internship as an embedded or firmware engineer.
Are you into the firmware part or the hardware part?
I do firmware
This is awesome. The beauty of embedded system is having to link hardware with software and seeing it work
Agreed! Keep your eyes peeled, we have more embedded content coming out soon!
i am a self-taught embedded software engineer with a math degree (i can already hear some people complaining). It is a very difficult field as you need a lot of knowledge in many domains. I started out as a hobbyist but then I transitioned into professional work.
Awesome John! We’d actually love to hear more about how you self-taught yourself embedded. Would you be interested in chatting?
Tell me how did you self taught yourself, i want to be embedded system engineer too...
@@EngineeringInsiderssure but my story really isn’t that interesting. I am open to communication on discord
@@ZahirKhan-121 its not simple…to be honest, I got very lucky with the job opportunities because a few people decided to give me a chance. Outside of work, I was already working on embedded software projects and I spent a lot of time learning basic electronics concepts and programming. I am not as knowledgeable about hardware as an EE or CE would be but I am very self-driven, resourceful, and eager to learn…
@@ClassyJohn can you tell me which books or resource you've gone through?
My organisation assigned me this technology. Hope, I will become a good Embedded Software Engineer.
Awesome! You must be one smart engineer then, embedded is tough. Best of luck to you friend!
Great
Great video. I'm an Electronic and Telecomunication Engineer. Since than I have been working in so different projects. I love to work with Hardware and software. Keep in mind that some people don't know that Embedded Systems Engineer is not the some as Embedded Software Engineer. The first work with software and hardware
Thanks for the comment! 🙂 The engineer writing this is an RF engineer so I feel you on that! I am glad you liked the video. You are right - we should make a distinction video clarifying the difference b/t embd Software and Embd systems. Thanks friend! -Joe
Self taught electrical engineer here studying the field for five years, built a couple cool things and decided to go to school for electrical engineering, getting my certification after December. Looking to invent so crazy thing that the world needs, crazy but simple, or just something dump for others to enjoy.
Sounds interesting, what thing?
Very nice! You don't hear about many self-taught EEs.
Was it hard to get your first EE job with no degree? Why have you decided to go back to school?
Thanks for commenting!
@@EngineeringInsiders don’t have the job yet… but know enough that I could apply to a job and have a decent chance at getting it. Actually thinking of getting out of school because I can learn faster outside of school and it will be mainly about the topic I want to learn, I lean more towards the electronics side of engineering than software side. I started with Arduino and now moving into build around a microprocessor and seeing which components will work best for it. It’s been a journey but I’m definitely sticking with it because one day it will pay off, with a degree or without a degree.
@@open_ckt I’ve build a mock traffic light controller on a small scale, built a distance sensors with an alarm so that when a person got closer the the sensor it had three stage light, green for 12 feet, yellow for 6 feet and red with an alarm for 1 foot away. I built my own EEPROM programmer for Arduino using a SD card and a file on the SD card and uploads the information from it to the two 8-bit shift registers(one for address and another for data) hoping to load it with instruction set for a microprocessor to build some sort of robot someday… been working on it as I learn new things
@@donemedal3146 Rough seas. How'd you fair in analog electronics? Nearly head-butted a wall because of Op-Amps😂. The guys who used those things in analog computers to implement arithmetic operations (addition, multiplication, etc.) were gods. Also self-teaching to be an Embedded SW
Currently studying electronics and computer engineering, I'm on industrial training now 🔥
Heck yeah!! Keep on the path 💪
I will be taking and embedded system class this semester I hope this information helps
Heck yeah! Come back and let us know how you like the class and how relevant the video is. Thanks for commenting!
Hello ! I intends to work in embedded systems after my college !
I planned to follow Electrical Engineering for Bachelor Degree
Do you think it will fit my goal as mentioned ?
Should i swich to Computer Engineering instead ?
I didn't understand much about the part about choosing your classes at uni. Can people really choose their courses at uni somewhere? I've never seen a uni that lets you choose courses.
In India most of the companies prefer Electronics and Communication Engineering or Electrical Engineering Graduates for both software and hardware embedded systems engineer. HW engineers design the circuits and PCB design on which SW engineers deploy the software.
Very interesting! Thanks for sharing 👍
In the states, it depends on the curriculum of schools, some EEs are better prepared than CEs but mostly the otherway around. & Yep having engineers that are specialized is the way to go!
PCB designs are usually done by technicians. An engineer is wasted on PCB design. I have met several PCB designers without any formal education during my career who did a much better job than I ever did. They call it "artwork" for a reason. It's more of an artistic than an engineering thing. The schematics usually come from engineers, though.
My engineering major was Biotechnology but i got job opportunity in Information Tech industry and working as a developer (Implementing ERP Cloud and creating custom applications etc.,) for the past 14 years. Somehow i got some interest in the area of electronics and controlling electronics thru software program but i couldnt get any exposer 10 years back.. I didnt have any idea like where to start. I found some courses(offline embedded system and robotic courses then in 2010) but seeing the cost of the course i didnt take up those courses then. 5 years back i went to some Expo and got to know about arduino and RPI boards. I have got some boards and started doing some hobby stuffs. Recently did a project in IoT using RPI and present in my org and won the award. Now i am planning to expand my knowledge in IoT and other necessary area of knowledge required for IoT. I don't if i will be able to switch my work completely to IoT or Embedded system area but started learning things as i am enjoying this. I still feeling bad for myself not enrolling the embedded system course 10 years back.
That’s a pretty awesome story! Sad you didn’t take that class as well but hindsight is always 20/20. Good lesson for me and all other engineers to follow your passion!
Make a video about mechanical engineering!
Great video! just have some few questions.
Do you have a dedicated video of resources for this field.
Do you think it is a good decision to switch to becoming an embedded system engineer from being a normal high level progranner.
Great questions, I am happy to see you're so involved in embedded!
We do not have a dedicated video for that right now but think that it's a great idea.
I personally have read into embedded (I am RF Engineer) and considered switching into the field, and found the book "Making Embedded Systems" By Elecia White (amzn.to/3ROomyg) a good intermediate-ish resource for those who know the basics. Besides that, I am sorry to say I don't have resources for you.
I would say if you think you'd enjoy it more than it's a great idea. Of course depends on where you live, family decisions, companies that are hiring, and a million other factors. But the pay should be in the same ballpark. I recommend getting more advice from other engineers as well! Just opinion of one here.
Best of luck, thanks for commenting! -Joe
Hello! Im an Applied Electronics and Instrumentation Engineering Undergrad from India. Please make videos on Instrumentation Engineering, Controls Engineering, IOT Engineering and Biomedical Engineering.
Awesome! Happy to connect with you here :-)
We’ll make all of these videos! As soon as possible my friend 👍 We won’t stop until we cover every engineering field 👍👍
@@EngineeringInsiders Thank you😊
@@SaikatRaptan No problem! We do our best to answer every comment 🤝
What about an electronics engineering major? In my country there is no computer engineering majors, so I figure that might be the closest, alongside mechatronics?
Correct! It is subjective but I would say Electrical/Electronics is the closest to Computer Engineering major.
If you really want to lean into Computer or Embedded paths figure out which concentration in either field that you want and take electives from the electronics degree that reflect that concentration that you want. You likely will have the circuits part covered so you will want to take some more software/ digital hardware courses. It shouldn't be too large of a difference! But it may require some personal work on the side depending on where you are located.
Remember this is just one person's opinion, we recommend speaking with other professionals/counselors as well!
Thanks for the comment 🙂👍
In self driving cars is embedded systems is used?
HI there! Amazing video! Can I ask you a question: what is a Embedded Escalation Engineer (EEE)?
Hello! An escalation engineer is described well here: www.zippia.com/escalation-engineer-jobs/
and an embedded escalation engineer would be this definition applied to embedded systems. I hope that helps! 👍
Do i want to be!? You bet i am haha
Nice video as always
Keep in mind, it's wozniac that got apple the thing they needed to become the megacorp they are today ;)
Haha glad you liked it Sandwich! Completely agree, the tech landscape would be so different without the woz. 😎👍
so good vid ❤❤
Thanks! Glad you like it 😎👍
Iam a ece gratuate can you do a video on autonomous vehicle course?
In india 🇮🇳 there is an engineering branch called Electronics and Communication engineering and i think it similar to computer engineering..am i right..
Hey there! Thanks for the comment. It seems as though it is closer to what we refer to as Electrical Engineering over here in the states. But seems to focus on the communications side of electrical engineering. Hopefully this helps!
@@EngineeringInsiders I am currently pursuing that course and I can say that 50 percent of the focus is on the communication part so yes.
I am an student. I want to pursue Embedded Engineering in my life. Any suggestions how I can get into it. I don't even know circuits right now 😂 ?
Great and helpful video!! but background music volume was a bit high.
(also, I don't know why, but it felt like an AI generated video)
Thanks for the feedback! We'll make sure it's not that loud in future videos.
Also I can assure you this is 100% human generated from script to voice to animation to thumbnail to this comment 🙂.
..but just let us know if you find any AI that can help us bc we are absolutely swamped lol.
Thanks for the comment!
@@EngineeringInsiders As a non-native English speaker I find it quite hard to follow what is said due to the music. I did try to slow down the video, and that did sound 'interesting' because of the music :D
🎉🎉🎉 more videos
Every week! 🙂
Good job
Thanks!
Interesting i will have firmware embedded systems software test engineer job interview next week what should I do study for pass the interview and get the job. Can someone help me ? I hear need to learn linux commands for seeing logs at the embedded system. Another?
Could you do 1 on petroleum engineer
Of course! We'll try to move it up the video line as fast as possible. 👍
Yes I want to be an automobile embedded engineer 👨🔧👨🔧👨🔧🎉🎉🎉🎉
In the past we used to call that electronics design engineer. If you couldn't do all of these things reasonably well (and another dozen in addition like circuit simulation, PCB design, FPGA design, RF, precision analog etc.) then you simply didn't belong in the electronics design department. :-)
Including the programming part too?
@@daumienebi Pretty much. Get yourself an Arduino. It's easy, fun and if you can do something useful with an Arduino, then you are in business as far as microcontrollers are concerned. If you want something much higher performing, an STM32 Nucleo board (all dirt cheap) or similar 32 bit ARM based board are great toys for an engineer. I use them all the time for prototyping. Learn how to use general purpose IO, timers, adc and dacs, the serial interfaces and maybe the USB port. Learn how to put text and graphics on a small LCD screen.
If you want to learn FPGA/PLD stuff, get a small FPGA breakout board (they are between $12 and maybe $100 for the smaller FPGAs). Learn how to code logic, state machines and arithmetic using VHDL and Verilog. This is all stuff you can do on a hobbyist budget at home these days. You can get a digital oscilloscope for less than $200 these days. You kids are so lucky that these products exist... we had to get access to somebody's lab to play with a storage oscilloscope!
And for RF... get yourself a vector network analyzer and a spectrum analyzer (also a couple hundred bucks each...WOW!). Learn how resonance circuits behave, what the impedance of capacitors and inductors really looks like, learn to use beads creatively! Today you can do serious professional stuff on a hobbyist budget. From an employer's perspective that also means I can expect you to know these things when you walk through the door. Why? Because you can do them at home... and so if you didn't, then why should I believe that you actually care about your field???? Right?
Yes, I want to be an Embedded engineer
The right answer 😎
Any internships for freshers in this domain!!!
that embeded engineer you depicted looks very similar to shawn hymel who has ton of youtube related to embedded systems
Haha that’s a funny coincidence! 😂
No I don't but it's just my hobby learning things every day. Trying cool stuff and messing around and feeling happy. I play with Arduino and try out stuff. New hobby
Fair! Thanks for answering; people rarely answer the question at the end of the videos lol. I considered making the switch but for now I am just a hobbyist as well!
@@EngineeringInsiders nice idea of making a switch. Sure thanks lol you can expect comments from me 😉🤣
I wanna engage in the robotic world but at the same time I am learning full stack for money and freelance to start working with Arduinos
That’s great! If you continue on that path while spending time to get into the robotics you’re interested in you will end up where you want to be, thanks for your comment!
Does Computer Science include Embeded software/system Engineering?
Yes and no. Embedded software is a sub field of CS in the sense that you can focus embedded in CS degrees. It more so is Computer Engineering though. So if you take CS degree and lean into hardware side of things, it’s possible!
Can you do quantum engineering next?
Hello! We have a list of videos in our “production line” but we’ll throw quantum engineering in the mix REAL soon 🙂👍
I am doing
Electronics and computer science in srilankan government university
Can i step in to this field
Hello! I’m not sure about the job market in Sri Lanka but in general embedded systems is the cross between electronics and computer science. So you should be well prepared for the career!
Are Embedded Engineering careers > All others? 🤔💭
That was great video, how about network engineer ?
@@royalarch3r On it! Don't worry we won't stop until we do them all 😎👍
Definitely
@@danniak369 Definitely one of our favorites!
Yessss

I am from India . I am doing bachelor's of computer application .I want to pursue my career as a robotics engineer . I want a roadmap , please can you help?
Hello! A robotics roadmap video sounds interesting indeed! We agreed to steer away from roadmap videos for the near future but we could see a come back!
I doubt GoPro embed ccd sensor. It is a cmos sensor most probably.
I also don’t agree that computer engineering is the best major to become embedded system design engineer. Electrical engineering major teaches all the hardware knowledge for the various embedded systems with enough c and assembler programming
Hey there, thanks for the comment!
Yeah we found it earlier on some thread, I can’t remember now what type of sensor it was. But we decided for the videos sake CCD was the route to take. Just wanted to provide an engaging way to give embedded example, and that’s how we decided to move forward with it.
Thanks for your opinion there! Our team unanimously decided computer was closest, I personally was an EE and didn’t learn a fraction of the software skills necessary to be embedded. Where most comp engineering majors are required to take a literal emb sys class, prog C class, and other uC classes.
BUT I understand at other universities it could be different! Let us know if this was the case for you 👍
@@EngineeringInsiders I studied in France ~2010 and we programmed many microchip microcontrollers, TI DSP and Xilinx /Altera FPGAs platforms with crosscompilers IDEs.
As an embedded system engineer working on energy management systems for industry,
Its hard. and roadmap of being an embedded system engineer is not an easy road.
You need to become the project itself. There are not enough open source materials for most of the tasks. Since some of the topics that embedded systems engineers deal are not for hobbyists. Most of the time you are alone with a 5000 pages of datasheets. you are looking to datasheet and datasheet looks you back. Debugging is very hard. It is one the fields where you really need be fluent in C. Think in C, leave behind your biological brain and reconstructing as a micro controller, You need to provide elegant cost/energy effective solutons all the time in the sector which makes thing 100x harder.
We agree - any way you look at embedded, it is freaking hard. The knowledge necessary for it is very broad and specific at the same time. Thanks for your insightful comment my friend!
Hey, I am a IoT student. I am planning my masters in field of IoT. Is it possible for IoT engineer to work as an embedded engineer.
Hey there, thanks for commenting. It depends! If you learn a healthy amount of coding (preferably in C and working with microcontrollers) and know your way around hardware and how computers/emb sys share data then you could be on the right track!
If not, I am sure you have all the tools you need to start doing emb sys projects which will carry you into the field
@@EngineeringInsiders hello, I have knowledge regarding the embedded c and working with Arduino ide, raspberry pi and micropython. I want to mostly focus on the hardware side of IoT. Mainly on power harvesting for the IoT devices. Should I need to learn deeply in semiconductors and transitiors.
Hello, this is just off the top of my head so take it with a grain of salt. You don't need to go super deep into the physics of them but learning which amplification schemes are best used in which applications, which semiconductor devices are the most efficient, etc. Because IoT devices are mass produced so you'll want your design as efficient and cheaply as possible.
Cheers
Pls post a video how to make a video like this
We’re focused on engineering content for the now but maybe sometime! 😄
I feel like that’s not a high demand job, like computer engineer in general. Software is always in high demand but hardware engineering seems pretty stale.
If I can give advice, taking more general studies like electrical engineering and then aiming for embedded would probably just as effective. The more specialized the smaller the market.
Yes, the more specialized the smaller the market. But one plan that works for some might not work for others 👍
You really give advice based on your unqualified feelings
This is very high demand jobs. Embedded Engineer not only can work in IOT device but can work in cloud, space travel, EV, defense and space. Embedded Engineer is shifting to embedded linux.
Everyone wants to become an Embedded Engineer until they start with pointers.
LOL no comment... 😂
Very interesting and great content, thank you a lot;
I'll so thankful to you if you will add English video subtitles integrated with the video, because I'm not native speaker, and I would to show these videos to my children and also me to understand very well some words that I don't distinguished when you explain;
Thank a lot for your efforts and best channel :)
Hello, thanks so much for the comment! That is a fantastic idea, we’ll figure out the best way for us to accomplish this ASAP. Thanks again, really made me happy reading this comment! :-)
@bstanis1237
UA-cam provides a cc option you can try that too
I WANT TO BE AN EMBEDDED ENGINEER!!!
Heck yeah! 😎 keep your eyes out - spoiler alert - we have another embedded video coming out next! 🚨
Don't start with Arduino. Most of arduiners never move further. Buy some trash-book like "AVR microcontrollers for dummies" or just google how to deal with those stones without Arduino at all. Time overhead will be insignificant but your undersstanding of how it all works will be much deeper. And then you'll be able to get to Arduino very quickly but I doubt you'll need it.
Interesting take!
Our collective opinion is that arduinos are a great place to start for beginners to see if they might like that line of work, much more beginner friendly than any other uC.
BUT if someone is more advanced/ wants to take the next step then more advanced uCs are a great idea!
Also don’t underestimate the power of arduinos in real embedded applications - they’re there! 😎
Thanks for the comment, we like the insight
@@EngineeringInsiders I believe that collective opinion about this platform based on good marketing and aggressive advertising. They're so good that many people don't even know that Arduino is not an MCU. If such politics would be applied to the AVRs itself including some book or web-resource there wasn't such opinion about Arduino platform. Making AVRStudio installation isn't more complicated thing than Arduino IDE but it's much more powerful and informative about what are you doing and what that does to the MCU itself. Eventually RP2040, for example, is exellent platform to start with, quite good documented and with easy-to-learn SDK and uses user friendly code editor instead of that hastily made ersatz that Arduino gives you.
Arduino is kind of like Apple where it's very convenient but subtly locks you in their ecosystem. That said I started out with Arduino and eventually graduated to reading the atmega328 datasheet and using Atmel Studio with a legit debugger, and onto other more complex things after that. I think it can be good for dipping your toes in, but the bloat and lack of actual debugging makes it a toy more often than not
i wish i took cpe insted of ee
Never too late to expand that skillset!
just start doing things, nobody stops you from getting what you need and diving in, schools are for those what want to become more exclusive prostitutes ...
People should take into account a lot of these jobs are in high cost of living areas hence why the average salary is so high. While mechanical engineers/electrical/any other have plenty of jobs in every state across the US
👍
Some Raspberry pi's a ChatGPT and a couple UA-cam primers to replace a hundred thousand dollar degree.
Yes some people get it to work this way! Some require the structure of college 👍
@@EngineeringInsiders A man may earn a fortune with his degree's, but he can only prosper by bending his knees.
It's just same as mechatronics engineer alright. Like so Mechatronics is evey where 🤔
They are really similar! But not exactly the same. We know, the whole Electrical/Computer/Software Engineering Meta has a ton of overlap through the various careers and is super confusing.
Mechatronics engineering students do get a lot of experience with microcontrollers, circuits, software and mechanical design aspects which play varying levels of importance in them landing embedded sys jobs later on (which is common).
Buuuut the mechatronics engineering career typically focuses on CAD for mechanical design, test/manufacturing automation, and dealing with larger systems that need to interact with the world around them, similar to robotics in that sense.
Whereas Embedded Engineers spend the majority of their time and effort programming and testing microcontrollers or microprocessors and optimizing them for the system that they are designing around them.
Hopefully this clears some things up! Thanks for the comment Mr. Galaxy 🙂
@@EngineeringInsidersI am a mechatronic graduate but here in Southeast Asia, I cannot imagine how it is for embedded world,as I barely scratch microcontroller in my university syllabus ,all is just pic18 from microchip, and Arduino for a working prototype to showcase.
I cannot even land in robotics related job or embedded hardware field although I did study concepts and theory in class, this makes me feel down.Therefore, I am now switching to learn about web development and attempts to break through into that field.
Not really, I want to be a bbq chef
software can be learned by googling, embedded and electromagnetism dont
So it’s the same as a firmware engineer
Hey there Edwin! They do both stem from the CompE field but actually are different. Embedded systems design is more broad and encompasses the entire embedded design, like the entire GoPro in the video. Whereas firmware engineers develop/test the code getting flashed onto the GoPro. The embedded engineers COULD also be doing this development and testing of the software, so it is a little confusing and varies case by case but hopefully this helps clear things up! Thanks for your comment. 👍
wow he cursed. this is cool
Drastic times call for drastic measures 🫡
Conclusion: Don't 😂
