Remote Pro Ai places vetted Embedded & IoT Systems Engineers who deliver firmware, edge software and IoT platforms for smart cities and industry. They develop for ARM and RTOS platforms with secure boot and over-the-air updates, and build edge-to-cloud pipelines with MQTT, OPC UA and digital twins.
Your Embedded & IoT Engineer develops firmware for ARM / RTOS platforms with secure boot and OTA, and implements device identity, encryption and CRA-aligned product security. Typical stack: C / C++, Rust, Zephyr, FreeRTOS and Azure IoT.
Smart-city, utility and manufacturing programmes are connecting millions of devices, and the EU Cyber Resilience Act is turning product security into a legal obligation for connected products sold in Europe. Embedded engineers who combine firmware skills with device identity, encryption and secure updates are in short supply worldwide.

MatchIQ™ is our vetting and matching engine: 3.4% of applicants pass 5 gates. The live assessment for this role tests the 5 capabilities above against a realistic task, not trivia.
Self-serve bookings receive a shortlist within 48 hours and enterprise requests get named candidates within 72 hours. After you approve a profile and sign, your specialist is working within 4 working days, whether the request is on the bench, off-bench or on-site. When fewer than 5 Embedded & IoT Engineer profiles are on the bench, we shortlist from the wider vetted network in the same 48 hours.
Pricing is quotation-based and depends on level, hours and any on-site, clearance or data-residency needs. Current bands: Mid from USD 4,670/month · Senior from USD 6,140/month · Lead from USD 7,980/month. VAT is shown separately, quotes can be viewed in SAR, AED, USD or EUR, and every quotation is valid for 30 days. The Squad Builder shows your quote instantly.
Remote Pro Ai is contractually responsible for quality. Raise it at any time: a replacement starts within 4 working days; the full handover completes in under 14 days. Your first engagement also begins with a no-bill trial, one per company: 5 working days on self-serve bookings and 10 on enterprise contracts.
This role is offered at Mid, Senior and Lead level. We never place junior profiles. A practice lead confirms each specialist’s level through a live technical assessment and reference checks, so the band on your quotation reflects scope the person has already delivered rather than a job title on a CV.
C and C++ as standard, Rust for memory-safe components, Zephyr and FreeRTOS on ARM microcontrollers, and Azure IoT or AWS IoT Core on the cloud side. Engineers also deploy edge AI where models must run on-device under tight power and latency limits.
They implement secure boot, signed over-the-air updates, unique device identity, encrypted communication and protected key storage, aligned with Cyber Resilience Act expectations. In our Case A-01 engagement, this approach delivered secure-boot firmware and OTA updates to 120k units with zero safety regressions.
Yes. Engineers integrate sensors, gateways and industrial protocols such as OPC UA and Modbus, and design MQTT-based edge-to-cloud pipelines. Digital twins then mirror device and asset state in the cloud for monitoring, analytics and maintenance planning. Protocol gateways are hardened so field networks stay isolated from corporate IT.
Engineers profile power use, apply low-power modes and efficient protocols, design watchdogs and fail-safe states, and test under realistic environmental conditions. Devices run longer on battery, recover from faults automatically and report health, so field teams fix issues before customers notice.
