Embedded & Firmware Recruiting & Talent — Seattle

Hiring or job-hunting in embedded & firmware around Seattle? This is a focused guide to the market: the roles in demand, the skills that move offers, and what the pay actually looks like — for a niche the big salary surveys barely cover. Embedded work straddles hardware and software, so it gets miscoded in generic software surveys — the real market clears well off the published software bands.

Roles in demand

  • Embedded Software Engineer
  • Firmware Engineer
  • RTOS Engineer
  • DSP Engineer

Emerging

  • Edge-AI Firmware Engineer
  • Secure-Boot / Firmware Security Engineer

Skills that move offers

  • C
  • RTOS
  • ARM Cortex
  • bare-metal
  • device drivers
  • low-power design

Compensation

Survey in progress

We're running a focused compensation survey for embedded & firmware roles — including the emerging titles (Edge-AI Firmware Engineer, Secure-Boot / Firmware Security Engineer) that Radford and Mercer don't break out. Real, min-N pay bands replace this as soon as we hit the threshold.
