Summary
Hamilton Little is a platform software lead based in Berkeley with 11 years of experience building embedded and systems software for aerospace, automotive, and consumer products. He has repeatedly taken early-stage products from concept to flight-ready systems—leading embedded architecture at Loft Orbital, scaling teams, and shipping core features like OTA updates and file transfer systems. At Zendar he now drives platform-level engineering, drawing on prior roles solving thorny firmware race conditions at NIO and designing communication backbones between MCUs. Hamilton combines hands-on firmware, device driver, and CI/HIL simulation expertise with a knack for mentoring and building repeatable development processes. A Cal Poly graduate, he’s comfortable moving between low-level hardware interactions (USB, BLE, capacitive touch) and distributed embedded architectures that support mission-critical payloads.
