Dear friends,
Can anyone give a clear explanation about the role of firmware engineer i
embedded field.
Thanks and regards

You could start by asking what firmware is and what
engineer is. Perhaps you already know half of the
answer.

That is such a loosely defined question that I will give you one possible
solution
The engineer designs, tests and then hands over the manufacturing package
for items that keep 'wares' 'firm', these are usually 'embedded'.
In other other words he designs bras.

Hi,
I would compare it with human body, imaging HW are its bones and muscle
and firmware is its brain. Firmware engineer it what makes its brain wor
properly and efficiently ^^.

Following your idea, I would say that neurones and synapses
are the hardware and that thoughts are the software.
Thoughts could be compared to programs or to logical equations,
neurones to logic gates.
General purpose software would be conscious thoughts born
in the neo-cortex, embedded software would be primitive
emotions or instinctive behaviour stemming from the
inner brain.
But who would be the engineer?
