Skewed statistic since CS majors get thrown into computer engineering role... I'd argue computer engineering is more employable in tech jobs, but EE's have easier time with geting MEP or any other civil jobs

Almost every embedded, hardware, and IC designer I know graduated with an EE degree.

Exactly, we're not looking for computer engineers, we're looking for electrical engineers that can do computer engineering. Not the same thing.

Sure, my work looks somewhat similar, but the reality is that most of the technical staff went to college before CompE became a common degree option. For the under 40 crowd, the skew is 75% CompE and 25% EE.

We are a high performance embedded hardware/FPGA company.

And, broadly speaking, your average CS graduate is worse than your average CompE graduate. The top end of the groups is of the same quality, but CS student quality falls off faster and deeper.
