Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolDietmar Eggemann is a Principal Software Engineer with 14+ years of deep systems and embedded software expertise, currently leading an 8-person team at Arm on Linux kernel mainline development for heterogeneous multiprocessing and energy-aware scheduling. He combines hands-on kernel development (EAS maintenance and CFS review) with real-world product support—his work influences consumer devices such as Google Pixel phones. His background spans RTOS and safety-focused platforms (VxWorks, INTEGRITY), cryptographic subsystems, and network stacks, giving him a rare cross-domain view of performance, power and security trade-offs. Known for strong system-level debugging and UML-driven design discipline, he brings electrical-engineering rigor (Diplom-Ingenieur) to complex software bring-ups and upstream open-source collaboration. An interesting detail: beyond shipping features, he acts as an upstream reviewer for Linux scheduler code, shaping scheduler behavior used across diverse Arm platforms.
