Top SchoolJ Mcrae is a senior engineering leader with eight years of professional experience bridging aerospace/mechanical engineering and embedded software, currently leading Core Technologies at HiViz LED Lighting. He’s delivered end-to-end systems from firmware and BLE mesh test labs to vehicle lighting platforms and Level 7 flight simulator avionics, repeatedly taking concepts from inception through production and OTA-enabled fleets. At Proterra he re-architected telemetry to cut latency from minutes to sub-second and reduce cellular costs with smart delta reporting, and at Gooee he automated Bluetooth mesh testing with Jenkins, PyTest, Balena and InfluxDB pipelines. Known for pragmatic system architecture and tool-driven test automation, he combines avionics-grade rigor with product-focused release velocity. Based in Hendersonville, NC, he brings a hardware-first sensibility to software problems and an appetite for full life-cycle engineering that often surfaces elegant cross-domain optimizations.
