    hi folks,

    interested in a job in the uk for an embedded engineer, any pointers on this sort of job? got a microelectronic eng degree from ucc myself. need to get off my ass and a proper job now.......


    ARM9 CPU SBC hardware design
    ARM Assembly language and C ability
    FPGA / LCD / RS232/485/422/Network interfacing
    A/D, D/A design (weighing applications)

    Embedded engineer could mean you would be working on either hardware or software or both.
    Even though it says experience in assembly language it does not necessarily mean you would be writing code in asm. Even if you were writing code in "C" you would need to understand the assembly generated by the C compiler to track down bugs etc.

    To get experience you could get yourself some demo board and play around with it , do some small projects. At least then you would have something to talk about in the interview.

    Embedded engineering involves using alot of tools such as debuggers,emulators,oscilloscopes,logic analyzers. So if you have experience in these it would be useful.

    In most embedded situations the code would be written in C with cerstin subroutines written in assembly, such as interrupt handlers and the like
