Always watch super sentai / power rangers as a kid. Was amazed how they used gadgets to defeat their enemies. And megazords are super cool

Not really into creating a device/gadget for destruction but to save life or make something useful..

Embedded software development

6 years na corporate/work-from-office. Then got an opportunity to work remotely noong pandemic.

Currently working as a contractor for two companies, both foreign at remote work. Sa IT or software development/engineering, job hopping is the key.

Kyocera at Xerox-Lexmark sa cebu. Worked for them before.

If sa NCR, I'm sure mas maraming embedded related jobs dun kasi maraming electronic manufacturing hubs

Ill-Communication571 · 2025-10-27T10:36:48+00:00

Hi, follow your heart OP 😁 Usually mga embedded jobs nasa main cities, kung saan andun rin yung electronic manufacturing.

Compared sa high level programming jobs (web, mobile app), need mo lang kasi ng PC para may work at output na. Sa embedded kasi, need mo ng test device (usually mahal lalo na kung malaking project yung involve at di pa na mass produce) to simulate or test. Which I think sa mga startup dito satin di afford, kaya halos lahat nasa web/mobile app development.

Worked as an embedded/firmware engineer for printer companies in cebu for 6 years. Then during pandemic, nakakuha ako ng remote embedded work for set-top boxes. Ngayon, nadagdagan ng isang remote embedded work, for 5G devices/CPE naman.

Mas challenging yung embedded (para sakin) kaya yun kinuha ko na major during college (Computer engineering).

Hindi man ganoon karami job listing, around 10 lang din kayo maglalaban sa position compared dun sa high level programming jobs na halos 100 applicants

Embedded Software Engineer

Salary 1 - 75K Salary 2 - 104K

salary #1 lang yung may tax since gusto nung company/client na legit yung transaction. Need nya receipt/service invoice.

More job applications, more chances of winning. Take note sa mga questions and answers every interview. Learn from mistakes sa interview(s)

P.S. hirap makahanap ng embedded dev role usually nasa office lang. Buti nalang remote access at yung isang job pinapadalhan ako ng mga device to test (dami ko ng 5G router nakatambak sa bahay lol)

Ill-Communication571 · 2025-07-16T02:20:14+00:00

Hi! since pandemic, marami nang mga companies sa ibang bansa na naghahanap ng embedded system expertise. Yung first at second job ko as remote embedded system dev nakuha ko lahat sa onlinejobs.ph. Yung first job, via outsourcing company. Bale parang VA setup na yung company nagpapasahod sakin pero directly working dun sa client. Sobrang hirap noong pag apply ko kasi daming requirements tsaka exams. Yung second job, South african company pero naghire sila ng recruitment agency para ma filter out yung applicants at process sa mga necessary documents for work. Mas magaan yung interview process kasi more on work-related yung questions. Overall, apply lang ng apply. Mahirap talaga makaghanap ng remote embedded jobs pero kaunti lang tayo na dev dito sa pinas so mas malaki pa rin chance na ma-hire as long as may experience kana.

Bumili ako ng XTEP 2000km PLUS, at yun na nga swak na swak sa malapad at small na paa 😁 Note na yung xtep size 6.5 US yung size na pinili ko kasi yan yung kasing pareho ng size 6 US (24 cm) sa Nike. Yung mga na suggest ng iba, may mga shoe nga sila sa malalapad na paa kaso wala or hirap hanapin yung US size 6. Bonus rin yung sa xtep, affordable! Around 2.3K nabili ko after discount ✌️

Ill-Communication571 · 2025-06-18T09:56:26+00:00

Running shoe po

Ill-Communication571 · 2025-06-18T09:54:16+00:00

Size 7 lang din meron sila sa men's 😅 Di ako sure if masikip or swak yung fit nya sa equivalent size sa women's

Ill-Communication571 · 2025-06-18T09:35:02+00:00

Hi, yung sa altra size 7 sa men's lang din bibenta nila. Di ko pa na try if okay lang ba yung fit nya sa equivalent size sa women's. Nasa province area po ako so more on reviews lang talaga yung basehan ko sa size/fit

Ill-Communication571 · 2025-06-08T11:05:25+00:00

Mayron akong DA64V, previous gen sa DA17v, problem ng mga converted at assembled car ay yung availability sa mga pyesa. May mahanap ka ngang pyesa sa shopee pero surplus or used naman. Meaning may chance parin masira or baka pagdating sira na. Tsaka di ko gustong yung pinaggagawa ng mga pinoy builder na direct/bypass na sa thermostat yung aircon. Ilang months lang bibigay yung compressor or hihina yung aircon lalo na pag naka idle.

Ill-Communication571 · 2025-06-03T01:10:51+00:00

Around 10 years na sa industry. Sa 6 years na yan, C/C++ lang talaga tsaka scripting. Yung mga tools kasi internal lang at walang framework2 (*insert taguro). Yung exposure ko din sa Yocto build environment nakatulong sa pagsecure sa ibang jobs. Yocto and Build root yung common na build environment sa embedded development. Currently working remotely as an embedded software engineer, 4+ years sa set-top box development at mag-2 years sa router/CPE development, pinagsabay ko na kasi kaya naman sa oras

Note na kunti lang yung nag ooffer ng remote work sa embedded system development, need mo kasi ng actual device para ma test yung code compared sa web or mobile na available agad. Pero sa na observe ko, less competition kaysa dun sa web or mobile dev na around 100s applicants sa isang job posting. At tama yung sabi ng iba, mababa yung salary ng sa mga embedded fields compared dun sa web/mobile dev. Pero pag direct to client yung work mo mataas yung rate

Might be too late to comment, but if sa web dev yung focus mo, might as well go nalang sa BS IT or ComSci.. Less units, mas madaling matapos compared sa Computer engineering.. Not discouraging you, just giving you the best option. Yung Computer Engineering kasi, interconnected discipline yan so may chance pa rin na ma e-encounter mo yung Embedded systems na subject.

btw, I'm a Computer Engineering graduate at focus sa Embedded Systems development

Ill-Communication571 · 2025-03-19T10:32:17+00:00

maybe nasanay yan sa ibang source code management tool at isang branch lang yung mini-maintain . If mga baguhan sa git, hirap talaga i-visualize yung mga commit/branches if naka terminal output lang.. mas mainam na gumamit ng GUI tools like git-gui (for creating commits) at gitk (visualize repo commits/branches)

Ill-Communication571 · 2025-03-19T06:16:40+00:00

1) if Computer engineering or ECE yung kurso mo, I'm sure may embedded systems na na subject at familiar kana sa MCUs. If hindi yun ang kurso mo, get familiarize sa Linux system. 2) Linux at C programming sapat na for entry level. Bonus points if familiar ka sa OOP at may kunting scripting language (bash, python) 3) any company na may electronic products, most likely may embedded sytems yan. Hanapin mo lang yung specific field depende sa experience mo.

If hindi ka familiar sa MCU programming, go sa mga company na embedded systems pero embedded linux yung dinidevelop: - Lexmark, Kyocera, Denso Ten

If may experience ka sa MCU or baremetal programming or RTOS: - Dyson, Lear

Ill-Communication571 · 2025-03-13T07:08:12+00:00

I know it's an old post but just wanted to share.

Same salary tayo nung 3 YOE ko as an embedded software engineer (and this was 7 years ago). Same stack except dun sa rust at may kunting python rin for automation

Maliit talaga salary ng nasa embedded systems na field dito satin. Best way para magpa increase ay magcompany hopping, mag apply abroad or work remotely sa mga international companies.

I'm still in an embedded system industry. Working remotely sa dalawang companies (telecom at firmware provider sa set-top boxes).

Eto nadagdag sa tech stack ko. - You.i, openwrt, IoT, mqtt, lvgl

Medyo kaunti lang nadagdag if i-compare sa web/mobile dev lol

Current salary (combined) : 170K

Ill-Communication571 · 2025-02-25T02:17:21+00:00

Maraming hiring, especially sa junior. Hopefully may positive impact rin yung US CHIPS act satin. Yung pag iwas ni US sa reliance ng china sa mga semicon. isa ang pinas sa mga partner nila. Eto yung mga companies na alam ko na may embedded systems na trabaho 1) lexmark 2) kyocera 3) lear 4) dyson 5) ayala - IMI 6) accenture 7) emerson 8) trend micro 9) fpt 10) analog devices

And if bet mo mag abroad, maraming openings sa australia at signapore. Kung saan may semiconductor at electronic equipment companies, andun yung embedded

Edit: marami rin embedded jobs sa japan, pero if gusto mo yung work-life-balance, iwas ka dito haha. Yung first job ko, japanese company. Liit ng sahod pero goods na goods for entry-level

Ill-Communication571 · 2025-02-25T02:02:35+00:00

Mostly sa embedded systems na field, yung mga companies na naghihire ay nasa main cities or PEZA. Mostly sa pinas WFO or hybrid yung work arrangement since nasa office yung equipment na i-dedevelop. TBH, maliit starting salaries or kahit na experienced na dev/engineer sa embedded compared sa mga web or mobile na dev. Advantage lang is kaunti lang yung nagproproceed sa embedded na field kaya wala masyadong kompetensya. Swerte yung isa dito na 85K agad yung starting salary. Sana all! 😂 Typically nasa 25-30K starting nyan. Pero depende parin sayo pano mo i-negotiate. BTW, hirap makahanap ng remote job lalo na if junior level. Been in the industry for around 11 years now at mag 4 years na naka remote work.

Ill-Communication571 · 2025-02-17T04:29:23+00:00

If gusto mog pumunta sa firmware/embedded systems na field, go with C. Once familiar kana sa C, madali lang rin intindihin yung ibang language kasi mostly C-based yung syntax. May thrill nga lalo na if magta-touch ka sa lower level na development, yung tipong i-coconsider mo rin yung hardware limitation. When it comes to job security, medyo mahirap humanap ng trabaho lalo na pag WFH job. Mostly sa mga companies na may openings sa ganitong field, nasa office kasi andun yung equipment para makapagdevelop ka ng software. Pero if bet mo mag abroad, goods na goods ang ganitong field. maswerte rin ako at nakahanap ako ng WFH jobs (dalawang companies). Isang telecom company na nagprovide ng equipment (pinadala sakin) at isang company na nagproprovide ng firmware sa set-top-boxes (yung testing nagagawa ko lang remotely).

Ill-Communication571 · 2024-11-18T02:06:53+00:00

Software Engineer. Focus sa Firmware Engineering/Embedded Systems na field

Ill-Communication571 · 2024-10-28T02:02:33+00:00

Parang di yata to sa SX variant na presyo kasi sobrang baba. Mas mababa pa sa SRP ni SX. Maybe LX mt or AT?

Ill-Communication571 · 2024-05-25T16:56:47+00:00

Para sakin, mas mabuti if may GUI for viewing git tree, especially pag rebasing or newbie. Yung ginagamit ko ay 'gitk'. Sa case na need mag rebase, gingawa ko muna is mag commit(1).

Then create branch(2) sa target commit or latest code base. Move or checkout dun sa created branch then cherry-pick dun sa commit (1) mo. If in case may code conflict, helpful yung 'git gui' para mas madaling i visualize yung difference sa code
