Summary
Alexander Ovchinikov is a Senior Embedded Software Developer with two decades of hands-on experience in C/C++ and embedded systems, currently optimizing software for a high-resolution automotive radar SoC. He blends deep hardware expertise—board bring-up, analog/digital design, oscilloscope/logic-analyzer debugging, DDR4 tuning—with FPGA/Verilog and DSP work, having shipped real-time radar and audio systems and co-invented NMR-based authentication hardware. At Arbe he accelerated system boot 15×, implemented secure image signing with AWS KMS, and developed low-level drivers and inter-core communication for Synopsys ARC CPUs. Comfortable across Embedded Linux, RT-Linux, MATLAB/Simulink, and cloud IoT integrations, he also brings practical cryptography and protocol experience (USB, Bluetooth, TCP/IP, I2C, SPI, UART). Known for translating algorithmic research into production C/C++ and FPGA implementations, he is equally capable designing schematics and driving hardware-software integration from first silicon to finished firmware.
