Well, yes and no. Depends a lot on whether you want to do the "full stack" or not there. Lots of bigger companies have EEs to do the PCB, power supply, pinmux, etc stuff, and then embedded software people to write the code that runs on it. An embedded software developer probably should be comfortable using an oscilloscope/logic analyzer in a pinch, but all of the hardware design tasks aren't necessarily required for doing embedded software work.
I say this all as a "full stack" embedded guy. I'd love to have someone else take on part of it, but I'm a solo consultant right now :). Did both EE and CS in school, and more than happy to do whole projects end-to-end, but I also don't expect EEs to be fantastic programmers, or embedded software people to be fantastic hardware designers.
