6 yrs controls/embedded, role shifted away from controls. What job titles should I search for?

I've been a controls engineer for 6 years, but my company has shifted my role to the point where I'm no longer doing any controls work. It's a small company, so I don't see any room for promotion either, and I'm back on the market.

My background is a CS degree, and I've adapted well to a wide range of work: electrical design, wiring harnesses, engine-related design, and embedded controls (firmware, CAN/J1939, embedded controller programming).

The problem is that I don't know what job titles to search for, since my experience spans a few areas. What titles or industries should I be looking at? Any advice is appreciated.

▲ 28 r/USCIS

I-485 approved

Started on 2023 with a perm application . Then won a h-1b lottery year later. Now its approved!

Sorta timeline • April 28, 2026 — Filed, same as your I-485 • May 1, 2026 — Receipted into system • June 11–12, 2026 — Three FTA0 events logged (this lines up with the same biometrics appointment window as your I-485 — makes sense, since USCIS typically processes biometrics once and applies it across your combo filing) • June 12, 2026 — Last update — this case hasn't had any internal movement since then (about 2.5 months ago now) •

Basically im trying to create a dual boot drive where i can have a linux on one and windows on another. i need to use remote desktop for work so i will be keeping the windows partition hence the need for a partition.

I tried to shrink the volume and found that the amount that can be partitioned off is only 30gb and found in the event viewer that the issue was MFT DATA.

I saw that multiple people saying offline defragger might help.

i also saw that the best way is to clone the drive and partition a clean disk and then reinstall windows. I dont want to do that if possible.

Any other solutions?

Thanks!
