I've been a mobile developer (iOS and Android) for the last 10 years. I'm getting bored and would like to find a job as an embedded developer. Most jobs I'm seeing are not entry-level, though. Any advice on how to make the switch from a senior level mobile engineer to an embedded engineer?
I don't know the transition part, but as a embedded developer, I would say that you have to be very familiar with C and system software stack. It is almost a must that you can show you have at least some experience playing with ARM/MIPS development boards and boot Linux on them.
