The board carries the 120 most recent of 121 open embedded software engineer roles - the other 1 is in the full member search. The city chips read the employer’s own location line; a listing that names no city we can resolve stays searchable but sits out of them.
Open to remote only? 3 of the 43 embedded software engineer listings that publish a work model came back remote-first, and 10 more are hybrid. The other 78 say nothing either way - that field is one only some boards publish.
Posted pay only - no estimates
What 31 of these listings actually printed.
Every figure here comes from a live posting with a stated annual base range. Nothing is modelled, inferred, or averaged in from a survey - which is also why the sample is smaller than the board.

About Embedded Software Engineer roles
The embedded software engineer job market currently shows 122 open positions across 38 hiring companies, according to available data. With 6 new roles posted this week, there is a steady, ongoing flow of openings rather than a sudden surge, based on current postings. Compensation data drawn from posted listings indicates a median salary of $165,000, with a 25th percentile of $134,202 and a 75th percentile of $186,250, suggesting a fairly wide spread in pay depending on experience, location, and specific company. Companies actively hiring for embedded software roles include Astranis, Shield AI, Inversion Space, Penn State University, and K2 Space, reflecting demand from both aerospace-oriented firms and academic institutions. The presence of multiple aerospace and space-technology companies among the top hirers suggests that embedded systems expertise is particularly sought after in sectors building spacecraft, satellites, and related hardware, though this observation is limited to the companies explicitly listed in current data. With 38 distinct companies posting roles, the market shows a reasonably diverse employer base rather than concentration in a single organization. The ratio of 122 open roles to 38 companies implies that, on average, each hiring company has multiple embedded software positions open, which may indicate ongoing or expanding engineering needs at these organizations, based on current postings. Job seekers evaluating this market should weigh the salary range carefully, as the gap between the 25th and 75th percentiles—roughly $52,000—points to meaningful variation based on factors such as seniority, domain specialization, and employer. Overall, the data reflects a market with consistent but measured hiring activity, a moderate number of active employers, and compensation that varies considerably across postings. Those interested in pursuing roles in this field should review individual job listings for specifics on required skills, experience levels, and exact compensation, since the aggregate statistics provide only a general picture of current conditions.
