Senior🎓
Top SchoolHyungwoo Yang is a Staff Software Engineer based in San Jose with over 9 years focused on system and embedded software spanning firmware, device drivers, OS kernels, thermal and power management. He has driven end-to-end platform work at Google and Intel, including migrating ECOS to Zephyr for embedded controllers and authoring upstream Linux drivers like ov13858. Previously at NVIDIA he built an Adaptive Skin Thermal Governor and implemented secure services and key provisioning in ARM TrustZone, blending security with low-level hardware control. His career began in mobile and multimedia systems at Nokia and others, where he designed cross-platform HALs and optimized vision pipelines to run on constrained ARM cores. Comfortable from bootloaders to userland, he consistently ships production-grade code that bridges hardware, RTOS, and Linux ecosystems. An uncommon strength is translating legacy RTOS frameworks into modern open-source stacks—making old device ecosystems work seamlessly with new platforms.
