I was just browsing the jobs and reading a lot and I always have the feeling that, without having knowledge in electronics, circuits and such, it's hard or impossible to find something for me
I strongly suggest you actually apply to those jobs you see and like. If you never apply for the fear that "it's impossible given your background", you will never be able to switch to the career you like.
Besides, if what you seek are programming jobs, then most likely what matters most is that you are able to program and know about algorithms, etc. of low-level languages, not necessarily about the electrical parts and components involved (otherwise it would be other kind of role, and not a programming one...each job's requirements could be different, though).
So, I suggest you stop "just browsing" and start applying to the jobs you see and like. Highlight your knowledge and experience on low-level programming on your resume, and customize it for each job you apply, so your chances of landing an offer are maximized.

I would like to ask you, is that possible to get a job in low level programming area without electrical engineering knowledge?
Some background: I am working as Java developer / architect since 14 years. I am interested in low level programming and have experience with micro-controller programming in C and Assembler. I would like to change.
I was just browsing the jobs and reading a lot and I always have the feeling that, without having knowledge in electronics, circuits and such, it's hard or impossible to find something for me.
Now I think, I may just don't know what exactly should I look for? Could you please tell me what are the career options in low level programming area with deep understanding of algorithm, C programming, but lack of electrical related knowledge?
