What is an embedded software developer?

Embedded software developers would probably say that their job title is self-explanatory. It is about developing software embedded in technical systems. This is as complex as it sounds.

So in order to understand what an embedded software engineer spends their day doing, you first need to understand what embedded development is. This is about developing so-called "embedded systems" in which the software takes over a direct control function of specific hardware: Embedded development is therefore considered to be particularly "close to the hardware". Embedded software systems are digital systems developed for specific hardware, such as household or industrial technology. The task of an embedded software developer is to develop these systems on the basis of the available interfaces, to maintain them and to carry out the so-called "debugging", i.e. error diagnostics. The process of embedded development thus includes the conception, development and testing of software products for embedded systems.

What must a good embedded software developer be able to do?

Embedded software developers take responsibility for all enterprise software. Therefore, not just any embedded developer should be hired, but exactly the embedded software developer who is specialised in the area in question.

In order to master embedded development, one must in any case have very good programming and technical knowledge and be enthusiastic about electrical engineering. Databases, IT security systems and working as faultlessly as possible complete the profile of a qualified embedded developer.

So anyone who thinks that the search for an embedded software developer is like the famous search for a needle in a haystack is unfortunately right.

How does alphacoders find qualified embedded software developers?

"What makes embedded software developers tick?" is a question that recruiters from Kiel to Munich ask themselves in their desperate search for suitable candidates. Given the virtually empty applicant market, they are happy to call on the services of headhunters. In order to find the right candidate, it is essential to make sure that the recruitment agency understands what a potential candidate is capable of, but also what motivates him or her.

Windows, MAC or Linux? To find suitable embedded software developers, you should therefore literally speak their language. Not all embedded developers are equal, and the search for a qualified candidate should definitely take this into account.

alphacoders is the interface between companies and embedded software engineers. Our clients benefit from our network, expertise and partnership. So Yes – we know what makes embedded software developers tick!

What our partners say about our cooperation

Ingo Fraedrich

General Manager — Veterinärmedizinisches Dienstleistungszentrum GmbH

When looking for qualified employees, we like to rely on specialists. They know the market and the target group and can advise accordingly. So it happens that we have been working with alphacoders since February 2020 and have been able to expand our development team several times. We have found the right service provider for us

Christina Bombeck

HR Managerin - Fundis Reitsport

We have commissioned alphacoders to search for 2 web developers. The challenge is that we are active in a special niche in e-commerce with the topic of equestrian sports and ideally the ideal candidate should also identify with our sport. In addition to good communication and consultation, we jointly implemented an effective hiring process. alphacoders not only managed to attract many women for this position, but we even managed to hire someone with a love for our sport. We were able to fill both positions with alphacoders and would hire them again anytime.

Susanne Hasenstab

Head of HR - WEITBLICK® GmbH & Co. KG

Last year we worked with alphacoders for the first time. The cooperation was characterised by professional and very personal support, as well as profound contacts within our target group. What was special for us was that we were actually only looking for one PHP developer, but because of the but due to the suitable selection of candidates we directly hired 2 developers and that within only 3 months. We would recommend alphacoders at any time.

Ralf Fohrmann

Head of Human Resources - prophete

Together with alphacoders, we were looking for and hired a NAV developer. The special thing about this was the complexity of the market situation: it is a very special position with a very narrow pool of candidates and a very loyal target group. We solved it through trusting and effective communication and adjustments to the profile. One key was certainly that we opened up for a fully remote position and were thus able to find and successfully recruit the right candidate.

Wiebke Ernst-Ringena

Deputy personnel manager

With the help of alphacoders recruiting experts, we were able to successfully fill several challenging roles in our digitalization, IT and purchasing departments. The collaboration was always characterized by very good advice, open communication and maximum transparency. We are looking forward to the next joint projects with alphacoders!

We really appreciate working with alphacoders because they really have a clue about tech and take time to understand who we need for MOIA and for our individual teams.

Franziska Mehlhorn

We have been working successfully with alphacoders for some time.

Tobias Schumacher

CTO & Co-Founder — Closelink

Working with alphacoders was our first experience with a recruiter. We particularly liked the transparent communication and the summary of the search in the form of reports and figures. This helped us to better understand the candidate market and gain deeper insights into recruitment from IT specialists. We can recommend alphacoders 100%.

Cornelius Lauritzen

CEO — Glambou

With alphacoders we have found a strong partner for our tech recruiting. The feedback loops were short and efficient.

We have already commissioned alphacoders twice to support us in tech recruiting and they convinced us with the first candidate for both positions (frontend & fullstack developer). The cooperation was very uncomplicated, at eye level and characterized by direct communication. We are very happy to have alphacoders on our side.

The short weekly exchange ensure that your ideas are understood and that you are always up to date.

Together with alphacoders, we were looking for and hired a PL/SQL developer. Thanks to the professional support of alphacoders, we were able to fill the position in a very short time. The fact that we worked very closely with the tech recruiters and that we had the same understanding of the market and the special requirements played a major role in our success. We would recommend alphacoders at any time.
