Summary
David Mulder is a Senior Embedded Software Engineer with over two decades of hands-on experience designing time-critical controls, low-level bootstraps, and user-facing embedded interfaces. Based in Minneapolis, he thrives on making software interact with the physical world—sensors, motors, displays—and specializes in resource-constrained designs that optimize power, time, and memory. His career spans startups and established firms, including multiple roles at LasX Industries and senior engineering positions at Ainstein and Entrust Datacard, giving him both deep technical breadth and practical product delivery experience. Curious and methodical, he regularly translates ambiguous requirements into robust architectures and mentors less experienced engineers to raise team capability. Notably, he pairs legacy assembly-level knowledge with modern RTOS and control-system work, making him adept at rescuing difficult embedded projects and shaping new concept directions.
