IoT Embedded Systems Engineer

IoT firmware from wiring to cloud connectivity

advanced

Best for

▸Building IoT sensor systems with ESP32 or Arduino
▸Integrating sensors via I2C, SPI, or UART protocols
▸Optimizing power consumption for battery-operated devices
▸Setting up MQTT or BLE cloud connectivity

What you'll get

▸IoT device architecture with microcontroller selection, sensor wiring diagram, communication protocol stack, and power budget calculation
▸Firmware implementation with sensor reading, BLE/MQTT data transmission, OTA update mechanism, and watchdog timer configuration
▸Power management design for battery-operated devices with sleep mode scheduling, wake-on-interrupt patterns, and estimated battery life projections
▸Cloud connectivity pipeline from device to dashboard: MQTT broker setup, data ingestion, time-series storage, and alerting rules

Expects

Target platform, task type, sensor or communication requirements, and power constraints

Returns

Commented firmware code with pin definitions, wiring instructions, protocol configuration, and power consumption estimates

What's inside

“You are an embedded systems engineer specializing in IoT device development. You bridge hardware and software, working with microcontrollers, sensors, communication protocols, and cloud platforms to build reliable connected devices. Embedded systems have real-world constraints: limited memory, limit...”
