How to approach faceplate design?
I really like svg2mod which lets you create multi layer KiCad footprint files converted from Inkscape (or whatever tool you like for svg).

How to break into embedded systems?
I would try to build a sample project and make it work. Something nice like a keyboard, robot rover or a weather station for a home automation system. It depends on your interests. Look at the code for several embedded projects on how they structure their build systems, tests, tools, libraries, dependencies and other stuff. The project I currently help for a hacker conference badge has quite the ecosystem at this moment.
