Summary
Connor Nishijima is an embedded systems engineer with 11+ years of hands-on experience building microcontroller firmware, hardware, and polished consumer electronics under his Lixie Labs brand. He specializes in memory- and access-optimized C/C++ firmware, Python test automation, LED displays, DSP, and end-to-end product design—having designed, manufactured, and shipped thousands of units to makers in over 90 countries. Comfortable working close to the metal, he also brings CAD/EDA, DFM, CNC fabrication, and multimedia marketing skills that let him take products from prototype to crowdfunding-ready campaigns. At Foxconn he improved high-throughput AWS server test workflows with Python and pragmatic network automation, demonstrating an ability to scale engineering practices beyond hobby projects. Based in Salt Lake City, he seeks a full-time role on a passionate team where pragmatic optimization and user-facing polish matter as much as technical correctness.
