Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolAlexander Lukichev is a Senior Embedded Systems Architect with over a decade of hands-on experience designing and shipping embedded Linux and real-time systems, now shaping architecture and strategy at u-blox in Zurich. He combines deep academic grounding (PhD-level work in embedded systems and design automation) with practical leadership—having led embedded OS development, line-managed teams, and acted as scrum master for GNSS receiver platforms. Comfortable from bare-metal ARM to networked device stacks, he specializes in bridging low-level kernel/OS concerns with higher-level system architecture, documentation and cross-team coordination. Known for rapid assimilation of new technologies, he keeps "rust off" his skills through continuous learning and open-source engagement. Not obvious at first glance: his career blends formal research and university teaching with pragmatic product delivery, giving him rare depth in both theory and industrial practice.
