My embedded portfolio for the last two years:

Battery Management Systems: Turn on and off 324 single cells in a 200 kWh array, measure their voltages and temperatures and ensure they're cells are not engaged above threshold temperatures (asymmetric for charging and discharging), or below threshold voltages.

Electric Vehicle Chargers: Communicate with car, communicate with charge point operator.

LoRa transceivers: Configure transceiver, send and receive encrypted messages over LoRa.

It was all Rust, and all very interesting.

But as other commenters have pointed out, there is a pay loft compared to other industries.
