Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolAndrei Simion is a Staff Software Engineer with 14 years of deep embedded-systems experience, currently working on TPU software at Google after leading firmware and LLM-acceleration efforts. He specializes in ARM v7/v8 SoC bring-up, board and silicon debugging, and low-level stacks across BootROM, U-Boot, Linux, and FreeRTOS, with a particular focus on camera, video, and multimedia pipelines from drivers to user-space frameworks. His background includes FPGA prototyping and driver work for Xilinx (notably contributing to the widely used Xilinx embeddedsw projects), headset and camera firmware at Oculus, and safety-critical stacks for autonomous vehicles at Aurora. Comfortable coordinating multi-disciplinary, multi-geography teams and vendors, he pairs hands-on kernel and firmware development with systems integration and performance-driven refactoring. A practical tinkerer, he often bridges hardware and software gaps that others treat as separate domains, speeding product bring-up and validation.
