Summary

Senior🎓
Top SchoolDirk Posselt is a Senior Software Development Engineer with 16 years of experience designing and shipping embedded and Linux-based systems, currently contributing at Synaptics. He excels at bridging firmware, digital and analog chip design—bringing up SoCs, creating bootloaders and drivers, and running critical software in pre-silicon VLSI simulations. Dirk is equally comfortable hunting elusive bugs with GDB and OpenOCD as he is establishing release processes, code review practices and company-wide Git workflows. His work spans real-time embedded, audio codecs with ANC, DECT/ULE wireless stacks and a wide range of interfaces from SPI and I2S to Ethernet and CAN. A long-time Linux and open-source enthusiast since the late 1990s, he pairs deep hands-on hardware debugging skills (oscilloscopes, signal analyzers, Verilog) with strong multicultural communication and project risk assessment talents.
