Senior embedded software engineer focused on product-driven, real-time systems.
What I'm looking for
I am a senior embedded software engineer with over six years of industry experience and one year of research experience across automotive, SATCOM, avionics, IoT, HVAC, and smart-city products.
I design and implement firmware and system architecture for bare-metal and Embedded Linux platforms, build hardware-in-the-loop simulations, and lead board bring-up and low-level debugging down to assembly.
I've owned network control codebases, developed SATCOM and ECU digital-twin simulations, and delivered mission-critical avionics drivers while contributing to product roadmaps, onboarding, and technical interviews.
I thrive in fast-paced, multidisciplinary teams, emphasize end-user-driven product focus, and have a track record of shipping commercial products and generating measurable business results.
