Embedded Software Engineer Jobs in New York: Frequently Asked Questions

How do you become an embedded software engineer in New York?

Embedded software engineering in New York does not require a state-issued license, so the path runs through education and demonstrated technical skill. Most employers expect at least a bachelor's degree in electrical engineering, computer engineering, or computer science from an accredited program. New York has strong pipelines through schools like Cornell, RPI, Columbia, and NYU Tandon. Building a portfolio of firmware projects and earning vendor certifications in tools like ARM or FreeRTOS strengthens a candidacy considerably.

How much do embedded software engineers make in New York?

Embedded software engineers in New York earn a median of about $166,180 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $97,430 for the lowest 10% to over $224,590 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.

Which companies hire embedded software engineers in New York?

Employers hiring embedded software engineers in New York right now include BAE Systems USA, Toyota Material Handling, and D3 Embedded, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of September 2026. New York's defense and medical device sectors create particularly consistent demand, with Long Island and the greater New York City area anchoring many of the largest engineering teams in the state.

Which New York cities have the most embedded software engineer jobs?

Rochester, Endicott, and New York account for the largest share of embedded software engineer openings in New York. New York City drives volume through its concentration of fintech infrastructure, consumer electronics, and corporate engineering centers, while Long Island's defense and aerospace contractors and the Albany-Troy region's semiconductor and medical technology firms sustain strong demand outside the metro core.

Are there remote embedded software engineer jobs in New York?

Yes, but they're rare. Embedded software engineering is inherently hands-on, requiring access to physical hardware, lab equipment, and test rigs, which limits how much of the work can move fully remote. About 60% of embedded software engineer openings tied to New York are remote or hybrid as of September 2026, and the roles that do offer flexibility tend to concentrate in higher-level architecture, code review, or simulation-heavy development rather than board bring-up or hardware integration.

How can I get hired as an embedded software engineer in New York with little or no experience?

The most realistic entry path is an internship or co-op with a New York defense contractor or medical device company, where structured programs for new graduates are common at employers like Northrop Grumman and Philips Healthcare. RPI, NYU Tandon, and Cornell all maintain recruiting relationships with these firms. Roles like firmware test engineer or hardware validation engineer often serve as entry points, and a portfolio of personal embedded projects on GitHub, especially RTOS or microcontroller work, meaningfully improves early-career candidacy.

Where can I find and apply to embedded software engineer jobs in New York?

You can find and apply to embedded software engineer jobs in New York on Migrate Mate, which lists current openings across the state. Search the available roles, find ones that match your background and target area, and apply directly to the employers posting them.
