Following your idea, I would say that neurones and synapses
are the hardware and that thoughts are the software.

Thoughts could be compared to programs or to logical equations,
neurones to logic gates.

General purpose software would be conscious thoughts born
in the neo-cortex, embedded software would be primitive
emotions or instinctive behaviour stemming from the
inner brain.

But who would be the engineer?

Hence most embedded engineers requiring psychiatric help? :-)

Hi, 

  I would compare it with human body, imaging HW are its bones and muscle,
and firmware is its brain. Firmware engineer it what makes its brain work
properly and efficiently  ^^.

That is such a loosely defined question that I will give you one possible
solution

The engineer designs, tests and then hands over the manufacturing package
for items that keep 'wares' 'firm', these are usually 'embedded'.

In other other words he designs bras.

Isn't that an embedded engineer?

I would say the firmware engineer designs the software of an embedded 
application. Then has to debug the hardware.

Firmware engineers design, implement and test firmware. ;)

Sure.  The firmware engineer designs the hardware and software of
an embedded application.

The firmware engineer is the one who is screwed.
