Surprised that no one has mentioned that you should first review the employment doc you signed. In many (most) cases any IP you create does belong to them. Getting a lawyer involved may just turn in to an expensive and antagonistic experience that winds up with you simply ending up....with them owning the IP.
One thing to consider- spin off your side project and try to get your employer as your first customer or as the exclusive distributor.
But your employment contract should have an IP provision, and that is going to be 99% of any outcome.
