Embedded Software Engineer

(Course Code: LTr201)

An Embedded System is an integration of software and hardware, either

programmable or fixed in capability, specifically designed for a particular function or

particular kind of application device.

The most possible hosts of an Embedded System are

Industrial machines

Automobiles

Medical Equipment

Cameras

Household Appliances

Airplanes

Vending Machines and Toys (as well as the more obvious cellular phone and

Smart Phones)

Embedded Systems programming is a specialized occupation. Programmable

Embedded Systems are provided with programming interfaces.

Current Trends in India

Embedded system development in India started around early 2000. The market

reached approximately $15 billion by 20015 and now has the potential to triple in size by2025.

According to recently released NASSCOM report, the total addressable

embedded system R&D global opportunity is expected to reach approx. $89 billion by

2016 where India alone could contribute approx. $15 billion in size.

Opportunities

Two core parts of any embedded systems are its hardware and firmware or

software inside the core processing unit. This means software or firmware is now a key

differentiator; since any new feature or specification can be easily tackled or added

using software changes. Clearly, now the software has to play critical role of


2/20

differentiation, innovation and future enhancements in embedded systems. The ratio of

contribution by firmware and hardware, which was 30-70 (30% firmware & 70%

hardware) earlier has now become almost 50-50 and is expected to grow further as

hardware reaches its saturation in due course.

What Should You Do?

While there are so many alluring opportunities in this field, question ishow can

we benefit from this?

If you are an individual from engineering background there is clear cut

opportunity for becoming an embedded systems engineer; whether it is in the field of

firmware, system integration, hardware designs or anything such. However, it must be

understood that on this fast track field; industry is expecting work-ready candidates. Thismeans, candidates should have prior knowledge of this field or should have a very steep

learning curve to cope up with current trends.

With this fact in mind, we, the Neo Green Labs has designed the Embedded

Software Engineer course with a systematic syllabus and right contents in order to

groom our aspiring trainees to grab an excellent opportunity in Embedded System.

Course Rationale

Our Training methodology allows the Trainees to dive in to embedded system

with basic knowledge and become a productive Industry ready candidate by the end of

the training. More than 80% of the course is hands on and hence the practical exposures

for the candidates are high enough to develop the key skills required for the industry.

Throughout the course, the Trainees has to complete many assignments, and do projects.

Moreover, at the end of the training, the trainees would get an opportunity to work with

our Embedded Product development team who are actually developing products and

solutions for other companies. Besides the Technical training, we provide regular soft

skill development training for our trainees. Weekly assessments and one on one

counselling would be understand strength and weakness of the trainees.

Technical Training Flow

Every Embedded software engineers must have basic knowledge in circuits and

hardware designs. Hence at the beginning of the course, we provide training in circuits,

simulations ad PCB Designing.

Embedded C is essential for anyone to begin a career in embedded firmware. So,

we train with the fundamentals of embedded C with hands-on assignments. Later, the

training in 8-bit microcontroller begins. We teach all the features of Microchip

PIC16f886/7 including sleep modes in order to get strong basics in microcontrollers and

programming. There would be hands on assignments after each topics and mini project

at the end of PIC training. Later, the trainees can learn interfacing of various Sensors and

Wireless Technologies. There would be a project after this and the candidate has to do

this project under the guidance of the trainers.

Later, the trainees would learn ARM7, 32- bit processor. And do various

assignments and Projects.

Real Tim Operating System (RTOS) is an essential knowledge required for the

Embedded Software Engineer. So, the trainees would learn the basic concepts of RTOS in

deep and after that, they would learn a very famous RTOS called FreeRTOS. We teach

those freeRTOS and developing applications using FreeRTOS with various

microcontrollers / processors. We use PIC24J series of microcontrollers for the testing

purpose. Moreover, the trainees would get the understanding of Porting RTOS in to

various micro controllers.

Linux has great importance in todays Embedded System. With this in mind, we

train the students to work with Linux, understanding the internals of Linux and

developing applications with it. The Trainees has to work with ARM11 based System on


4/20

Board, Raspberry Pi to learn the Embedded Linux. During this period the trainees learn

the Python programming Language as well.

During the Last two months, the trainees would get and On Job Training.

Duration: 6 Months/ 600 Hrs

Pre-Requisites

Basic Understanding in C

Basic Knowledge in Electronics

Eagerness to learn new Technologies.

Who can attend?

Person with B.E/B.Tech/M.Tech/Diploma can join this training

Anyone who have interest in this field and have pre-requisite knowledge

Recommendations

It is strongly recommended to bring your own LAPTOP during the training so that

you can easily practice the exercises at home.

Certification

Those who successfully complete 4 month training will get Training Certificate.

Those who successfully complete 4 month training and 2 month on-job Training

will get six monthexperience certificate.

Placement Assistance

We provide 100% Placement assistance to the trainees. We have good relations

with a number of embedded companies.

On-Job Training

R&D wing of Neo Green Labs has engaged in the Product Development activities for the past three

years. After the four month rigorous training, the trainees can involve in commercial product

development (on Job training). The trainees have to work in a team of Engineers to develop products

as per the client requirement. This is the best part of our training because trainees can utilize the

knowledge they gained through the training for implementing products. Moreover, no other training

centres have such a facility.
