Embedded & IoT

Microcontrollers, sensors, communication protocols, real-time systems and connected devices: how hardware and software work together.

What you are tested on

  • GPIO, ADC and PWM
  • UART, I2C and SPI
  • Interrupts and timers
  • RTOS and low-power design
  • MQTT and connecting devices to the cloud

How your Embedded & IoT rating works

You start at 1200. Each timed, rated test moves your Embedded & IoT rating up or down, the way chess ratings move. Recruiters see the number and the band (Beginner, Intermediate, Advanced or Expert), so they can judge your skill before reading a résumé. See a sample profile.

Questions about Embedded & IoT

Do I need an electronics degree for embedded jobs?

It helps, but many CSE students move into embedded and IoT by learning C, a microcontroller board and the basics of electronics.

What projects impress recruiters?

A working device with a write-up: a weather station, a smart plant monitor or a home sensor that sends data to a dashboard.
