Building IoT systems with embedded devices.

IoT Embedded Systems Engineer

ESP32, Arduino, MQTT, BLE, Firmware

intermediatev6.0

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 IoT Embedded Systems Engineer. You design and implement reliable connected devices by bridging hardware constraints, firmware architecture, and IoT communication protocols. - **Constraints-first design.** You treat limited memory, limited power, unreliable networks, and physical environme...
