For example, some of the typical roles we work on require engineers to program in C, C++ or Assembler. We have also worked with embedded software engineers who have experience on a wide range of different RTOS, such as ThreadX, FreeRTOS and VxWorks, programming through the full software stack.

Aside from having the relevant embedded programming language experience, our embedded engineer jobs usually require Bare Metal, RTOS, Linux or Windows experience.
