Job Opportunities for Embedded Systems- ISM UNIV

If you want to make career in Embedded Systems, you need to clear basic concepts of electronics. Most people have a thinking that Embedded Systems is all about pure programming

How to learn Embedded:

  1. Embedded Hardware:
    Embedded System is all about hardware and software. We cannot design a software without a hardware and hardware is just a piece of metal without a software. So start by learning electronics, current, voltage, power, BJTs, MOSFETs and all the remaining electronics concept. Then start by learning how to design PCB. Start by designing simple PCB circuit like battery, led few resistor and capacitors. Learn more and more about micro controllers & microprocessors, their working, power consumption. Its totally fine if you are not interested in hardware but you still have to learn hardware otherwise you won’t be able to program your hardware.
  2. Embedded Software
    if you think you are not that much interested in hardware part, then purchase some development board for any micro controller. Start by learning C, then embedded Cand then some higher level languages. When you think you have enough knowledge, do some projects related to Embedded. Always remember, don’t just do projects on development board instead do it in practical condition.
  3. Projects
    Let’s say you are making a home automation project(which is very famous now days) then don’t do it on development board because that’s called POC(proof of concept) instead go to your room, open the switch board and deal with the live wire. Obviously you will not succeed at first time, but keep trying and when you do, you will have some real practical knowledge about electronics and embedded and your project will not be a POC, it will be a product. Document everything related to your project, this will help you in interview.
  4. How to get a Job
    do not register on any job searching website. They are good for any jobs but not for embedded. Create your LinkedIn account. Follow people who are currently in embedded domain. Increase your network. Keep updating your profile. Apply to LinkedIn jobs. You can even send message to anyone in embedded requesting for job if there is any vacancy in his/her company. Even if you get a paid internship in any embedded domain, that’s also great for starting your career.

Embedded system is all about technology that brings modernization, efficiency, and ease in use of machines for people so that there lives get easier and smooth. It is more about bringing comfort and getting efficient output. It has nothing to do with gender.

It is more of how efficient you are at your work. Not everyone is good at all required skills. Some may be good with circuit design, and some may be good at writing program, some may be good at assembling circuits, some may be good at testing circuits. When all these skilled people work together and we get a device that help people in their day to day life. For example a home automation systems.

Yeah it is absolutely safe for anyone who maybe interested in electronics and programming. Like any other subject, it is vast. One should put sleeves up and start learning if really interested in electronics or programing.

Services Offered by Embedded Engineers

Embedded Development is a vast field, and hence it is categorized into various domains for optimal performance.

#Embedded Hardware Engineering

This area designs hardware products across various industries like Healthcare, Consumer Electronics, AeroSpace and Defense, Automotive, Power Electronics, and Solar Energy.

#Embedded Application Development

This domain develops navigation subsystems, multimedia, mobile and wireless communication applications on various cross platforms like Windows, Apple, Blackberry, and Android.

#Embedded Software Engineering

Software development is the critical domain among all. Services offered by this area are Board support package (BSP), Firmware development, Device driver development, Porting of native Operating system Linux, Windows to another device like Android, Blackberry.

Moreover, Middleware feature development for WiFi, Bluetooth and peripheral integration of various devices.

#Modeling and Simulation

Before building the embedded product it is important to ensure that procurement cost does not go higher. To maintain this model-based design has to be implemented using modelling and simulation tools.

This feature helps to develop quality products at low cost.

#Verification and Validation

An end to end life cycle tests is implemented using standards such as CMM, Six Sigma, EMI and EMC for the proper working of hardware and software. These methodologies check the defects of faulty embedded systems.

Conclusion

Embedded systems are becoming an increasingly important catalyst to change in a wide variety of sectors, including computing, data communications, telecommunications, and industrial control. Any automated system will be helpful and will save people and organizations time and money.
