Summary:Brazil, like other emerging countries such as China and India are increasing significantly their importance as global players. The Brazilian economic relevance gains more importance with its economic growth and industry expansion. This economic growth also reflects on embedded systems design that expands following the market demand for new products. The Brazilian developments are ubiquitous in different areas: industrial automation, automobiles, home appliances, electronic consumers etc. A statistical survey was conducted to evaluate the embedded system development in Brazil, to identify the developer's profile and the main characteristics of embedded projects. The main results indicate that Brazilian embedded developer is generally young, no older than 35 years old and has a maximum of 10 years of embedded system design experience. They also show that embedded project developed in Brazil, are commonly linked to new products, last more than 6 months and usually are delayed considering the initial schedule.
