“I am part of the IoT/CTD (Connectivity Techonologies Development) team made up of another embedded system engineer who does C/C++ development on Linux, our manager who is also an embedded system engineer and our IoT Program Director. We exchange on a daily basis with the ISS team that does the front-end part in java.” Embedded design engineer “Consider that the typical embedded system is a highly custom device. It’s not a standard platform where there is a wealth of pre-written code (libraries) that a developer can just “drop in” and write a few lines of glue code. Most embedded firmware is custom, meaning that on a typical embedded project a high percentage of the code is new code, meaning that more development time, and more developers are required.”
