Senior🎓
Top SchoolAndy Makovec is a Senior Test Automation Engineer based in San Francisco with a decade of experience designing development boards, automating hardware validation, and creating robust test cases for bring-up, design verification, and EMC. He has led end-to-end hardware validation at Tesla—writing embedded C for brake actuation, Python for CAN/DAQ/oscilloscope integration, and building dashboards—while also shipping internal test platforms and firmware for STM32 devices. At Rockwell Automation he designed complex multi-zone development boards, automated test suites and EMC test plans, and served as Scrum Master on large cross-functional projects. Comfortable across firmware, hardware, and test software, he combines hands-on PCB/layout work with scripting and toolchain modernization (CMake, networked bootloaders). He mentors junior engineers and has a knack for turning high-component-count prototypes into production-ready testable designs. Notably, he pairs practical lab skills (oscilloscopes, NI DAQs) with scalable automation that captures thousands of datapoints per test run.
