Embedded Software is programming written to control hardware devices that are not general-purpose computers, such as appliances, medical devices, and automotive systems, often operating under strict constraints on memory, processing power, and real-time responsiveness. Embedded software engineers typically write in C, C++, or Rust and work closely with hardware teams to develop firmware and drivers.
