Summary
Cosimo Orlando is an experienced embedded software engineer with 13 years designing safety- and security-conscious systems for automotive, railway, satellite, and IoT applications. He specializes in C/C++, Qt, real-time RTOS work, and secure Linux platforms, having architected a hardened Debian Trixie distribution for Raspberry Pi 5 interfacing high-speed FPGA camera hardware. His background spans full HW/SW integration—sensor fusion, multi-protocol communications (UART/SPI/I2C, CAN/J1939), PCB prototyping and lab validation—paired with CI/CD and cross-compilation toolchains for mixed Windows/Linux workflows. He has repeatedly delivered safety-certified components and diagnostics (AUTOSAR, UDS, XCP) and built resilient real-time algorithms like circular-buffered navigation for tunnel transitions. Comfortable taking ownership across the stack, Cosimo blends hands-on low-level firmware with higher-level security design and automated testing practices. Relocated to Turin, he is actively seeking embedded roles in EVs and brings a knack for securing peripheral interfaces (USB/FTDI) that isn’t obvious from job titles alone.
