Embedded Systems Engineer resume template

Firmware work lives in constraints — power budgets, boot times, fleet reliability — and this layout gives those numbers top billing over generic language lists.

Free forever · no watermark · switch to any of the 283 templates without retyping

Built for

✓Firmware engineers on ARM Cortex-M, RTOS, and bare-metal stacks
✓Electrical engineers who moved into embedded software
✓IoT engineers with OTA, power, and fleet-scale stories to tell

Summary

Embedded engineer with eight years shipping firmware for industrial sensors and connected devices on ARM Cortex-M platforms. Cut a battery-powered node's sleep current 72% to stretch field life past five years, and brought over-the-air updates to a 12,000-device fleet without bricking a unit.

Experience

Embedded Systems Engineer — Bracken Hill Instruments2022 – Present

Develop FreeRTOS firmware in C for a Cortex-M4 vibration sensor line shipping 40k units a year to industrial customers
Cut sleep current from 18 uA to 5 uA through peripheral gating and wake scheduling, extending battery life past 5 years
Brought OTA updates with dual-bank rollback to a 12k-device fleet; zero bricked units across 14 release cycles

Firmware Engineer — Vantage Micro Devices2020 – 2022

Wrote STM32 drivers for BLE, SPI flash, and sensor stacks reused across 3 product lines and both RTOS platforms
Reduced boot time from 900 ms to 210 ms to meet an automotive customer's startup specification

Firmware Test Engineer — Marbleview Electronics2018 – 2020

Built hardware-in-the-loop test rigs in Python and pytest that caught 60+ firmware regressions before customer releases
Automated EMC pre-compliance sweeps on two chambers, cutting lab rework cycles from 3 to 1 per product

Frequently asked questions

Is CVLoom really free?

Yes — editing, all 283 templates, and PDF download are free, with no watermark and no card. There is no account at all: no signup, no login, nothing to cancel.

Will my PDF have selectable text for ATS systems?

Yes. Exports are generated by a real browser engine, so the PDF has true selectable text, embedded fonts, and clickable links — the things resume parsers need.

Can I switch templates without retyping anything?

Yes — your content and the design are stored separately, so switching templates re-flows the same content instantly and losslessly. Try every one of them.

What should embedded engineers highlight besides languages?

Constraints you beat: power budgets, boot times, memory footprints, and fleet reliability. Hardware context makes C experience concrete.
