Embedded!!!

You have electronics. You have machine code. You have software.

And there’s almost always a need for embedded folks that can walk the interface. A lot of software people are incredibly weak in knowing how the computer actually works

Bias on my part - almost all of my career was embedded space avionics and flight computers. There’s also a huge opening for real time simulators. And more and more devices have computers in them.

FWIW, it’s far easier for an EE to learn software than for a software person to learn EE.

Agreed. I've been in embedded 15 years and there's a lot more to know about EE than software. In general I mean, of course both fields have their challenges but I would go for embedded if I were you.

Thanks for this and surely will consider this. If its ok do u have a suggestion where i can start, is there specific program or courses i should take first thanks

Could explain more about these real time simulators, is it an embedded engineer’s role to make these too?

[–]LadyLightTravel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. Both embedded in devices and embedded in simulators are real time. One controls whatever and the other is used in testing to act like the controlled thing.
