In this episode, Amish chats with embedded systems expert Mark Meyer, whose journey through decades of firmware engineering is packed with valuable insights for anyone in or entering the tech industry. From his early days working with PDP-11 mini computers the size of phone booths, to today’s microcontrollers and System-on-Chips (SoC), Mark reflects on how tools, technology, and even job design have evolved—but also how the fundamentals have remained surprisingly steady.
Mark shares wisdom on:
Why your first job can shape your entire career
How embedded systems haven't really changed at their core
The three layers of embedded software architecture
The future of hardware/software interaction in fields like robotics and quantum computing
How design—not just code—is what really matters in embedded engineering
If you're curious about how hardware and software intertwine, or want a grounded take on career longevity in tech, this is the episode for you.
