Entry Level Embedded Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions

How do I get an entry level embedded job?

Focus on building hands-on experience before you apply. Employers hiring at this level look for candidates who can demonstrate practical skills through personal projects, coursework, or internships, particularly with microcontrollers, RTOS, or C and C++ programming. A GitHub repository showing real embedded work, even from class or hobbyist projects, gives you a concrete edge over candidates with only coursework on their resume.

Which companies hire entry level embeddeds?

Companies hiring entry level embeddeds right now include Neuralink, Amazon, and General Motors, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of August 2026. Hiring at this level comes from a wide range of employers, including consumer electronics manufacturers, automotive suppliers, defense contractors, and medical device companies that regularly bring in junior engineers to support growing firmware and hardware teams.

Are there remote entry level embedded jobs?

Yes, though most entry level embedded roles are still on-site given the hardware access they require. About 15% of entry level embedded openings are remote or hybrid as of August 2026, concentrated in software-adjacent embedded work such as simulation, driver development, and embedded Linux where physical lab access is less critical day to day.

Are these new grad embedded jobs?

Yes, many of the listings on this page are new grad and junior roles that explicitly welcome candidates with zero to two years of experience. A new grad friendly posting typically accepts internship experience or a portfolio in place of full-time history, lists foundational skills rather than deep specialization, and uses titles like junior embedded engineer or associate firmware engineer to signal that the role is designed for early-career candidates.

Which industries hire the most entry level embeddeds?

Entry level embedded roles concentrate in Technology & Software, Electronics & Hardware, and Manufacturing, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of August 2026. These sectors drive hiring at the junior level because they rely on continuous product development cycles that require a steady pipeline of engineers who can contribute to firmware, hardware bring-up, and testing from the start of their careers.
