Skills required to become a Senior Embedded Linux Firmware/Software Engineer

Here are the key skills you'll need to master if you want to work in a Senior Embedded Linux Firmware/Software Engineer job.

1. C

C is a structured programming language that allows difficult hardware or software challenges to be broken down into smaller, more manageable jobs. It also permits data to be transferred across the various program components. C is a general-purpose programming language that can operate on a wide range of programmes, including corporate software, computer games, graphics, computations, and so on. C is also employed in the creation of embedded systems. This implies that it is employed in the development of products like computers, cell phones, and other electronic gadgets.

2. C++

C++ is a general-purpose programming language that may be used for game creation, software engineering, database development, creating browsers, operating systems, and apps, among other things. It was developed as an extension to the C programming language and supports procedural and object-oriented programming. It serves as the foundation for millions of existing applications and lines of code.

3. Embedded Linux

Embedded Linux is a Linux operating system/kernel designed for use in embedded devices and appliances. It is a small version of Linux that provides capabilities and services in accordance with the embedded system's operating and application requirements.

4. Microcontrollers

A microcontroller, which is embedded within a system, manages a specific function of a device. Using its central processing unit, the microcontroller's processor analyses data received from input/output (I/O) peripherals. The processor's temporary information is saved in the microcontroller's data memory, where it is retrieved and deciphered and applied using instructions contained in the processor's program memory. It then communicates and performs the required action via its input/output peripherals.

5. Multithreaded programming

A thread is a self-contained unit of execution that is formed inside the context of a process (or application that is being executed). The word "multithreading" refers to the execution of several threads in a process at the same time. Consider it the application's equivalent of multitasking. Multithreading is a computer execution architecture that allows several threads to be formed within a process and run independently while sharing process resources. Threads can execute in full parallel if they are spread to their own CPU core, depending on the hardware.
