If you already have experience with H/W design and these designs
contained microcontrollers and you also have C/C++ experience (I guess
on computer platforms?) then you are >>80% of the way to being an
embedded engineer already.

I doubt there is a formal qualification you NEED to acquire. I would
advise picking an architecture, gaining some experience with it,
assembling a portfolio, and approaching potential employers.

Some people will argue with this comment but I don't recommend you
position yourself either as a "just firmware" guy or a "just hardware"
guy. I'd advise you to make the most of the synergy. Employers want
people with experience on both sides of the HW/SW fence.

Also if you have 5+ years of hardware experience, I'd suggest you aim
at an intermediate-level position rather than entry level, even though
you are changing fields.
