Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolDave Buckingham is a seasoned software engineer with 10 years of professional software experience built on an earlier career in hardware engineering, giving him a rare hardware-software systems perspective. He has delivered safety-critical embedded software for defence and aerospace (including SIL 2/4 fin actuation on TI DSPs and flight software in Ada95) and later applied that discipline to consumer electronics, telecoms and metering systems. Comfortable leading teams or rolling up his sleeves as an individual contributor, he has a track record of driving projects from low-level drivers to mission planning and telemetry systems. Based in the Greater Reading area, he combines deep experience with diverse toolchains and processors (C/C++, Cortex-M, DSPs) and a pragmatic focus on getting products to certification and field readiness. Notably, his background in thermal and mechanism requirements for space rovers and hands-on driver work for TV and phone platforms illustrates both high-level systems thinking and meticulous embedded implementation.
