In today’s highly developed internet, almost all transactions can be conducted online. However, in real life, all technologies ultimately return to the physical world. Areas such as manufacturing, process control, networking, communications, instruments, automobiles, ships, aviation, aerospace, military equipment, and consumer products all belong to the field of embedded systems.
Embedded systems are a combination of software and hardware. So, who is suitable for embedded systems?
One group consists of individuals from hardware-oriented majors such as electronic engineering and communication engineering, who primarily focus on hardware design. This is one of the development directions for embedded talent.Sometimes, they need to develop low-level software closely related to hardware, such as BootLoader and Board Support Package (similar to PC BIOS, driving hardware downwards and supporting the operating system upwards), and the most basic hardware drivers. Their advantage is a clear understanding of hardware principles, but they often struggle with complex software systems (e.g., principles of embedded operating systems and complex application software).Another group consists of individuals from software and computer science backgrounds who primarily engage in the development of embedded operating systems and application software.If software professionals have a good grasp of hardware principles and interfaces, they can also write BSP and hardware drivers. Once embedded hardware design is complete, various functions rely entirely on software. The added value of embedded devices largely depends on embedded software, which constitutes the main work of embedded systems. Therefore, software professionals need not worry about their place in the embedded market. The more intelligent the device and the more complex the system, the more critical the role of software becomes, and this is the current trend.
There is also a group of individuals with zero background looking to switch careers, who generally have an advantage in software.Due to their lack of relevant background, they usually participate in training to quickly accumulate a large amount of knowledge and engage in related project practice under the guidance of instructors, enabling them to acquire all necessary skills for employment in the shortest time possible.
How can one become an embedded engineer? Here is a mind map; mastering this knowledge and doing project practice will essentially lead to success.

What positions are available in embedded employment? What are the salaries?
So, what are the employment directions for embedded development? Embedded employment directions can be divided into two aspects:
1. Software development direction, which constitutes the main aspect of societal demand, primarily involving the development of embedded operating systems and application software. Positions may include design and development engineers for embedded products and application systems, engaged in the design and development of application projects using embedded technology, product maintenance, and technical services.
2. Hardware direction, for those who have a good understanding of hardware and some hardware foundation, primarily focusing on hardware design. Sometimes, they need to develop low-level software closely related to hardware, such as BootLoader, Board Support Package (similar to PC BIOS, driving hardware downwards and supporting the operating system upwards), and the most basic hardware drivers.
In 2019, embedded talent remains scarce, and the value has surged. It is understood that entry-level embedded developers generally earn an annual salary of 40,000-70,000 yuan, while those with over two years of experience earn more than 100,000 yuan annually, and senior embedded engineers with ten years of experience earn between 300,000-1,000,000 yuan annually.
The salary of embedded engineers is quite attractive. Damae looked at her wallet and decided to take a course, realizing that money is indeed the greatest motivation for learning.
