Embedded product engineering involves designing and developing embedded systems that are integrated into a product or device to provide specific functionality. Embedded systems are computer systems that are designed to perform a specific task or function, such as controlling an electronic device or monitoring a system.
This involves gathering and analyzing user requirements and defining the functional and non-functional requirements for the embedded system.
This involves designing the architecture, components, and interfaces of the embedded system based on the requirements.
This involves designing and prototyping the hardware components of the embedded system, including the printed circuit board (PCB), microcontroller, and other electronic components.
This involves writing and testing the software components of the embedded system, including the device drivers, application software, and firmware.
This involves integrating the hardware and software components and testing the system to ensure that it meets the functional and non-functional requirements.
This involves manufacturing the embedded system and deploying it into the product or device. Embedded product engineering poses several challenges, including the need to balance performance, power consumption, and cost, as well as ensuring the reliability and safety of the system. Embedded product engineers must also consider the various hardware and software platforms in which the embedded system will run, as well as the various regulations and standards that apply to the product or device.
