Summary
Dave Feng is a seasoned embedded and systems engineer with 30+ years of hands-on experience spanning hardware boot, Linux kernel internals, device drivers, FPGA interfaces, video encoding/distribution, and Android AOSP. Currently a Senior Member of Technical Staff at Xsight Labs, he previously led principal engineering efforts at ZeeVee and Acopia where he drove board bringup, U-Boot/Linux kernel work, and complex video and networking products through multiple acquisitions. Comfortable across the full product stack—from low-level bootstrap and RTOS to server backends and Android apps—he excels at bridging hardware and software boundaries to ship robust, production systems. His career includes deep experience with SIMD/DSP clusters, PowerPC lookup engines, and high-availability chassis and NVRAM interfaces, reflecting a long track record in performance-sensitive embedded systems. Based in Westford, MA, he combines academic foundations from RPI and Boston University with a practical knack for getting difficult platform bringups and FPGA integrations across the finish line. Less obvious: he repeatedly navigated technology transitions that enabled several successful company acquisitions, highlighting both technical depth and product impact.
