Entry Level Embedded Software Engineer Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions

How do I get an entry level embedded software engineer job?

Entry level embedded software engineer roles go to candidates who can demonstrate hands-on work with microcontrollers, real-time operating systems, or low-level C and C++ programming. Build a GitHub portfolio with firmware projects, contribute to open-source embedded repositories, and highlight any coursework or internships where you debugged hardware-software interfaces. Employers at this level prioritize proof of skills over years on a resume.

Which companies hire entry level embedded software engineers?

Companies hiring entry level embedded software engineers right now include Garmin, Neuralink, and General Motors, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of August 2026. At this level, hiring covers startups building connected hardware products, defense and aerospace contractors with new grad programs, and consumer electronics manufacturers that bring on junior engineers to support firmware development cycles.

Are there remote entry level embedded software engineer jobs?

Yes, though remote roles are less common in embedded than in pure software disciplines because the work often requires access to physical hardware. About 18% of entry level embedded software engineer openings are remote or hybrid as of August 2026, with hybrid arrangements more typical at larger companies that ship development kits to engineers working from home.

Are these new grad embedded software engineer jobs?

Yes, these listings include new grad, recent graduate, and junior embedded software engineer roles. A new grad friendly posting typically welcomes zero to two years of experience and accepts internships, senior capstone projects, or a personal hardware portfolio in place of full-time work history. Look for postings that list coursework, personal projects, or co-op experience as acceptable qualifications.

Which industries hire the most entry level embedded software engineers?

Entry Level embedded software engineer roles concentrate in Technology & Software, Electronics & Hardware, and Manufacturing, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of August 2026. These sectors drive new grad hiring because they ship physical products on fast development cycles and need junior engineers who can write and test firmware close to the hardware layer.
