Find your next tech and IT Job or contract Embedded Software Developer (IoT, Assembler, Microcontroller...) in Manchester

An embedded software is a program specifically used for hardware management. The program developed by the IT professional has no purpose outside the hardware for which it was designed. The software is therefore totally limited to the functions for which it was designed and cannot be used outside the equipment in which it is integrated. An embedded software is also called "dedicated software". An embedded software developer works in the IT sector and has the main mission of developing and designing embedded software. In other words, they are called upon to develop code exclusively optimized for the constraints of the hardware in question. The developed software is integrated into the hardware platform to perform certain tasks. The embedded software developer, in their work, takes into account the specificities of each product and its field of use, to optimize their code and adapt it to the environment. They are called upon to show a lot of patience and significant adaptability. The embedded software developer profession also requires a lot of ingenuity to always meet the needs of the equipment to be designed. The embedded software developer must also be quite responsive to intervene quickly in case of problems in code development. They can work in a company or as a freelancer.
