How much does not having deep domain expertise hurt in the long run?
I’m an EE by degree but got drawn to embedded software earlier. Though as much as i tried to break in, I’ve only done actual embedded work (like sensor drivers, RTOS) in side projects, not in my 5+ years of career experience.
Professionally, I’ve mostly been doing C/C++ dev on embedded Linux, but it’s been more middleware/application-level, including frameworks, messaging/communication layer including IPC, sockets, etc.
I feel like I’m missing out on roles in areas like computer vision, perception for AVs, power management, DSP, etc., where C++ is heavily used and you may be developing some cool algorithms…
Anyone else in the same boat or have advice?
