"Software and Embedded Systems" refers to all software built into products and systems in the manufacturing industry, as well as the technologies and services involved in their development and operation. It is a foundational technology that governs the functionality, performance, reliability, and safety of all products, including automobiles, industrial machinery, medical devices, and home appliances. Its characteristics include control software using Real-time OS (RTOS), firmware, device drivers, and application development, in addition to close collaboration with hardware, functional safety design, and security measures. Typical services include comprehensive development support from requirements definition to design, implementation, testing and verification (V&V), and maintenance, as well as IoT integration, AI feature implementation, and integration with cloud platforms. This is an indispensable area for enhancing product functionality, promoting digital transformation (DX), and strengthening competitiveness.
