Hi,
I'm looking to find a job related to Embedded Systems Engineering (microcontrollers, FPGAs, hardware/software...etc). I have a BSEE and experience with Arduinos, Raspberry Pis, Atmel Microcontrollers, PICs, Circuit Design & PCB layout, software programming (C, C+, C#, Java, Python).
I worked as an Application Engineer (testing hardware, creating software/scripts, some R&D, database programming, circuit design, and PCB Layout), but quit 2 years ago due to health reasons. I'm starting to look for work again, however, so far no luck. A lot of companies seem to want applicants with experience in very specific areas in which I dont have experience in. I'm looking to gain experience, however, I can't figure out the best way to obtain it. Ideally I'm looking for a mid-level or senior-level job, but dont mind looking for an apprenticeship, internship, or entry level job to gain experience in Embedded Systems or Robotics.
Are there any good places to network, join an engineering club, find a startup looking for engineers...etc in order to get my foot in the door?
Currently, I'm just working on IoT projects (getting started with ARM microcontrollers, STM32F030) just to pass the time and gain some experience on my own. Maybe it will help and give me something to speak about if I land an interview.
Any advice?
