Palo Alto, California, United States
Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolBernard Bekker is an embedded software engineer with 11 years’ experience building low-level firmware, PCB hardware, and communication systems, currently contributing to Tesla’s embedded stack in Palo Alto. He has designed end-to-end satellite asset-tracking solutions at Hiber—owning firmware, high-efficiency protocol design, custom modulation/demodulation, and security—which speaks to his ability to tackle constrained, mission-critical systems. Bernard’s background includes hands-on productization work (certification, provisioning, testing) and a history of leadership from his time as Chief Electronics for FS Team Delft, where his team earned top competition placements. Comfortable across C firmware, PCB design, and communication layers, he combines practical engineering with a curiosity for new domains to become a more complete systems engineer. A longtime freelancer and two-time Tesla contributor (intern and full-time), he brings both startup agility and automotive-grade rigor to embedded product development.
