Infrastructure & Advanced Computing
Software close to the metal — embedded devices, robots, sensors, image processing and machines built for scale. Smaller fields than web or cloud, and less crowded because of it.
Rarely a first job, but a strong second one if you like hardware, physics or maths as much as software.
Roles, easiest entry first
IoT Developer
You connect physical things to software, and deal with the fact that they lose signal.
No degree needed
Computer Vision Engineer
You make software understand what is in an image, reliably enough to act on it.
Degree usually expected
Embedded Systems Engineer
You write the software that runs on a chip with no screen, no operating system and 64KB of memory.
Degree usually expected
HPC Engineer
You make scientific code run across thousands of cores without falling over or wasting half of them.
Degree usually expected
Robotics Software Engineer
You write the software that makes a machine perceive where it is and move without hitting anything.
