Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolChristopher Knauf is a Senior Embedded Engineer with 10 years of hands-on experience building automotive sensor solutions, simulation tooling, and RFID systems for Goodyear's racing and R&D teams. He blends embedded C/C++, C#, and Linux real-time integration to develop ESP32 and ARM Cortex prototypes, high-speed UDP/CAN telemetry, and touch-screen OEM demos that bridge algorithms to hardware. His work on VI-Grade DiM250 motion simulators and tire-tracking RFID infrastructure demonstrates a rare mix of systems-level engineering, field support, and user training in high-pressure motorsports environments. Christopher has driven cost-saving improvements in tire inventory and introduced passively powered, on-tire sensor prototypes, showing both practical innovation and deep domain knowledge. Based in Barberton, Ohio, he pairs a Computer Engineering degree with a photographer’s eye for detail—often building user-facing tools that prioritize usability and repeatable testing.
