I was an "Embedded Systems Engineer" (EE/CS combination) for almost 20 years, but as the hardware systems became more and more commodity, I ended up spending more and more time on software. I still do occasional uC projects via my consultancy, but my FTE has been software-only since 2001.

An interesting aside is that I think the type of software I'm writing benefits from having a deeper knowledge of the underlying hardware.
