This is not far from what I already do at my job. It's selecting hardware and software, combining them together in such a way that it solves the problem at hand. The pieces are a little smaller, but they still have well defined ways of interacting. That is what surprised me. How well defined the functions and sample implementations of these really complex chips are these days.
