Senior🎓
Top SchoolBrandon Smyth is an embedded systems developer with nine years of experience building safety-critical automotive software, currently developing manufacturing embedded systems at General Motors after leading low-level MCU and connectivity features at HARMAN. He holds an M.S.E. in Computer Engineering and has hands-on experience from drive-by-wire EV conversions to V2X convoy communications, blending firmware, PCB design, and system integration. Brandon has owned platform bring-ups, CAN/UDS diagnostics, and peripheral drivers across RH850 and S32K platforms, and has a track record of narrowing complex system faults through log-driven root-cause analysis. Practical and delivery-focused, he has reduced validation effort with automated test harnesses and implemented runtime hardware variant detection to prevent mismatches in production. Based in Dearborn, Michigan, he combines academic research with production deployment experience, often stepping into on-vehicle diagnostics to close the loop between development and field validation.
