Tier-1 employer and mid-level experience increase competition, but embedded specialization narrows the candidate pool.
Role demands deep embedded, kernel, and hardware bring-up expertise, making backgrounds less transferable across industries.
Explicit 6+ years, mandatory kernel/device-driver/Linux hardware bring-up and specific protocol experience enforce strict filters.
