In fact, Apple has lots of open jobs for exactly the kind of low-level engineers this thread is about and you can find the team managers posting about them on Twitter.

  Reading this thread made me feel like all the embedded jobs are low paying or moved to China. And whatever is left has fierce competition. That's why my parent comment.

    I think most people on HN are web developers who only talk to other web developers and think the only good jobs in the world are at Facebook. There's a definite bias. Of course, there's a few more problems than low paying or moved to China - it might be on-site somewhere expensive (Apple), somewhere you don't want to live (probably a lot of these), or boring or unethical (a defense contractor).

> Apple is hiring and has relatively low-bullshit interviews (depending on the team). I agree. I passed interviews for a Systems Software Engineer position at Apple two months ago, and I can attest that the interview process was very down to Earth. No LeetCode questions. Instead, the interviews were mostly system design and and simple programming exercises where finding a solution was less important than the discussion with the interviewers. If anyone is interested, Apple is still hiring - https://jobs.apple.com/en-us/search?search=systems%20engineer&sort=relevance https://jobs.apple.com/en-us/search?search=systems%20enginee...
