That kind of embedded work, like connect-the-dots pcb layout work, went overseas 15-20 years ago. The typical new embedded project in the US today has minimally a not-particularly-resource-constrained 8-bit processor with gobs of fancy peripherals, something like the PIC Q10 series or the ST equivalent. The median would be a 32-bit ARM Cortex M.
Typical IoT SoCs are a step up from that but it’s not huge. The ESP32 is pretty representative but there are significant other options - see what Amazon supports in FreeRTOS as a starter.
It’s a big leap from small IoT SoCs to SBCs like the Pi.
