Summary
Eric Xu is a senior software engineer with nine years' experience building embedded systems, diagnostics, and scalable validation frameworks at the hardware-software boundary. Currently at Luxtera/Cisco he leads Python/pytest automation for optical module validation and CMIS telemetry, and previously owned platform driver bring-up and timing sync (IEEE 1588, SyncE, PPS) for the Cisco 8000 Series. He designs modular, fixture-driven test architectures and CLI tooling that scale across multiple DUTs, BERTs, and labs, and has delivered long-lived automation like an FPGA multi-image upgrade flow. Known for cross-disciplinary debugging with HW, FPGA, SI, and platform teams, he pairs practical engineering judgment with a focus on maintainable systems. Based in San Diego, he leverages AI-assisted tooling to accelerate framework build-out and deep register-level diagnostics.
