You should first understand the overall opportunities in Embedded system development domain. Embedded system product based companies provide job opportunities to following categories: 1: Hardware design 2: Firmware Developer 3: Embedded system software developer 4: GUI developer 5: Android/iOS developer 6: Software testing 7: Quality Assurance 8: Security 9: Hardware testing 10: PCB design Firmware and Embedded system software developer roles require software development skills. These can be done by CSE background folks as well. If you are interested in electronics, you should opt for hardware design option. Duration of training: Learning is a continuous process. Six month duration is minimum to prepare for relevant job. Learning never go waste. Wait period after training: It depends on your educational background, career gap, performance in training, salary expectations and job location preference. If you join any training institute, you may still have to compete with others. Complex C coding : If 11th standard students can develop C++ based applications, we can't say C as a complex programming language. It depends on how you learn it. Answer to Do I need to waste 6 months to just learn embedded systems and then wait for another 6 months for a job? I am interested in electronics but not in complex C coding. What should I do? by Sanjay Kumar https://lnkd.in/g95cetBJ #embeddedsystems #embedkari #embedded

Ans: If you are targeting job within next six months , you may take a medium approach for entry level embedded software developer. To become Embedded software engineer, one has to learn following: 1: Basic Electronics 2: Microprocessor 3: Assembly and C 4: RTOS 5: Microcontroller and interfaces Embedded system software requires excellent Embedded C , Memory management, communication protocols and Debugging skills . This communication involves IC to IC , wired and wireless as well. For advance embedded system , one has to learn C++ and Operating system as well . We provide online training based on above key skills: https://lnkd.in/gqY4bpZx Here is one link for the same . https://lnkd.in/gWARmesC Following are few points for overall core job. 1: I know one academically excellent (9.5+ CGPA) who joined non-technical job due to higher salary but soon realized his mistake. Now trying for core job . His focus was only academic throughout four year without any programming or other Industry specific skills. 2: I am sharing here study done to make a balance between academy and industry skills. Sanjay Kumar's post in Embedded with Embedkari (https://lnkd.in/g3ekShpf) 3: One must study C in first year itself and move to C++ in second year. C++ is OOP based which is required for IT jobs as well . Study both even if you are planning for VLSI or hardware design. System C used in Validation based on C++ and now FPGA also need such background. 4: Study both analog and digital from academic performance perspective as well. 5: Learn Linux along with Networking subject. You can use many Linux utilities to understand Networking better . You can install Linux in Oracle Virtual Machine within windows. For that you need good hard disk size and min 8G total RAM. 4G can be slower. 6: If you have RTOS and Computer Architecture as optional subjects, Take those . 7: During Microprocessor course , Practice C with IDE like Eclipse. You will be able to understand host processor registers. Work on 8051 based system along with course. Buy one STM32 kit for learning ARM Baremetal 8: Buy one NodeMCU for learning IoT. 9: After getting Networking & Linux concepts , IoT database & server will not take much time. 10: IoT background will help you in fetching job . Additionally if you go one step further by using Java script and Python , It will add value in case you want to still go for IT job. 11: Above is a balance approach for IT, VLSI and Embedded. If you want to go to IT/VLSI just add data structure and algorithms. You can at least go to Validation role. For VLSI, you will need to learn VHDL/Verilog ... https://lnkd.in/g4hB7DgF #embedded #embedkari #opentowork

Hi everyone. Happy to report that I am recruiting, immediately and with great urgency, a Principal, Linux Embedded, C++ & C Engineer. Location: ON SITE ONLY, 5 days a week - Marlborough, MA *15+ years of work experience in firmware and software development on embedded devices. *5+ years of work experience in a technical leadership role. *Expertise in multi-threaded and multi-core application development with C++11 or higher version. *Solid understanding and experience in object-oriented analysis, design, and implementation. *Familiarity and experience working with Linux-based application development, device drivers, makefiles, build systems, and scripting languages such as Python and bash. *Basic understanding of networking, TCP/UDP/IP, DHCP, Ethernet frames, IP packets, VLANS, and COS. *Working experience with DMA engine, I2C, SPI, network switches, and designing hardware and software interfaces. *Knowledge of Class D, 400v amplifiers and hardware design is a PLUS Inmail me to apply. NOTE: Recent, LINUX, C++, and low-level embedded systems programming, not app tier, is required. This is a hands-on, coding, and leadership role. Reference: Low-Level Embedded Systems Programming: *Target Environment: Embedded systems are specialized computing systems designed to perform specific tasks within a larger system. They are embedded into devices such as microcontrollers, IoT devices, automotive control systems, etc. *Programming Language: Low-level languages like C, C++ or Assembly are often used for embedded systems programming to directly control hardware components and optimize resource usage. *Access to Hardware: Embedded systems programming requires close interaction with hardware components, such as sensors, actuators, and microcontrollers. Developers need to manage memory, I/O ports, and interrupts at a low level. *Real-time Constraints: Many embedded systems operate in real-time environments, where responses to events must occur within strict time limits. This requires precise control over timing and synchronization. *Resource Constraints: Embedded systems often have limited resources (memory, processing power), and efficiency is crucial in designing software for these environments. #linux #embeddedengineer #embedded #C++ #hardware #electricalengineering #firmware #I2C #UDP #tcpip #VLANS #DMA
