Why Embedded Hardware Hiring Is Broken
Embedded hardware engineers bridge the gap between chip design and system-level product development. They handle SoC integration, board bring-up, BSP development, firmware, and the hardware-software interface that makes semiconductor devices functional in real products.
Embedded hardware engineers need a rare combination of hardware understanding and software skills. ShawSilicon tests both: understanding of SoC architecture, peripheral integration, interrupt handling, memory-mapped I/O, and real-time operating system concepts.

Frequently Asked Questions
What embedded skills does ShawSilicon test?
Our AI interview covers SoC architecture, peripheral integration (SPI, I2C, UART, PCIe), BSP development, RTOS concepts, bare-metal firmware, and hardware-software co-design.
Do your embedded engineers do PCB design?
Some embedded engineers on ShawSilicon have PCB design experience, but our primary focus is on the firmware and SoC integration side. For pure PCB layout, we recommend specialized services.
What is the rate for embedded hardware engineers?
Embedded hardware engineers on ShawSilicon charge $90–160/hr. This range reflects the broader availability of embedded talent compared to analog or ASIC specialists.
Can I hire embedded engineers for Linux kernel work?
Yes. Many embedded engineers specialize in Linux BSP development, device driver writing, and kernel customization for custom SoC platforms.
What RTOS platforms do your engineers work with?
Our engineers have experience with FreeRTOS, Zephyr, VxWorks, QNX, ThreadX, and bare-metal embedded systems.
