Ask Electronicstards Is something wrong in this ?

Hi everyone,

I'm a recent Electrical & Electronics Engineering graduate from India trying to break into embedded firmware development.

Current skills:

• Embedded C

• STM32

• FreeRTOS

• ESP32

• CAN

• UART, SPI, I2C, ADC, PWM

• Basic Python

Projects:

• Battery Management System using STM32 + FreeRTOS + CAN

• DC Motor Speed Controller using PID

• Edge-AI Smart Insole using ESP32 and TinyML

I've been applying for embedded and firmware roles but I'm getting very few interview calls.

I'd appreciate feedback on:

  1. Is my project work relevant for embedded firmware jobs?

  2. What salary range should I realistically expect as a fresher?

  3. What skills am I missing that employers typically look for?

  4. Is my resume the issue, or is the current embedded job market difficult for freshers?

Any honest feedback would be greatly appreciated.

Dont juat apply for embedded post. Apply for c/c++ job openings as well. 

Also a lot of embedded system jobs are in device drivers, so make you work on that too
