Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolArun Ravindran is a seasoned embedded systems and robotics engineer with over two decades of experience and 14 years in advanced platform roles, most recently as a Member of Technical Staff focused on physical AI. He combines deep expertise in Embedded Linux/Yocto, ROS1/2, PX4/NuttX drone stacks, Zephyr/FreeRTOS, and board bring-up across ARM and Intel platforms with practical FPGA/Verilog and RISC-V experience. At Intel he led platform bring-up, OTA and secure CI/CD practices for robotics, drones and Android telephony, and his open-source contributions to the popular mraa library show hands-on hardware/software debugging—fixing GPIO and UART mappings for Intel Joule. Comfortable moving between low-level firmware, OS customization and higher-level Python applications, he also has a track record of integrating telephony stacks and adapting platforms for mobile and IoT products. Based in Tampere, Finland, he pairs systems-level thinking with a pragmatic focus on integration and delivery across complex embedded products.
