Senior🎓
Top SchoolEdwin Zhang is a SW/FW Engineer II with 8+ years at Microsoft specializing in Surface cross-platform UEFI and hardware-software integration, bringing firmware, driver, and automated test experience to products across multiple generations. Trained as a hardware engineer with dual BS degrees in Physics and Electrical Engineering from the University of Washington, he bridges circuit- and system-level design with low-level software development. At Microsoft he has moved fluidly between development, SDET, and program management roles, coordinating across Redmond and Wilsonville teams to deliver reliable firmware for consumer devices. He began his career designing PCBs and embedded firmware for industrial systems, which gives him practical insight into manufacturability and BOM-driven constraints often overlooked by pure software engineers. Based in the Greater Seattle Area, he seeks to work on cutting-edge technology and increasingly focuses on software while leveraging deep hardware knowledge.
