You could start by asking what firmware is and what engineer is. Perhaps you already know half of the answer.

The firmware engineer is the one who is screwed.

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

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.

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.

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 wor properly and efficiently ^^.

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?

An arse, perhaps?
