Developing a Roadmap to an AI-first Organization: A Case Study in Embedded Software Development

The paper examines how a large embedded systems company is transitioning to an AI‑first organization, focusing on the role of autonomous AI agents in software engineering. Through a mixed‑method study involving 40 workshop participants—scrum masters, architects, managers, and product owners—the authors identify expected impacts on team structure, required competencies, organizational strategies, and developer roles. The study concludes with a concrete roadmap and discusses implications for federated AI team formation, human‑in‑the‑loop practices, and sustainable AI adoption in embedded software engineering.
