Strong Cisco brand and mid-level requirement but niche embedded/kernel skills moderate competition.
Embedded kernel and hardware driver expertise is highly domain-specific and not broadly transferable.
Explicit 5-8 years plus mandatory kernel, device driver, and hardware bring-up skills make filters strict.
