Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolJake Michael is a Senior Embedded Engineer with eight years of multidisciplinary experience bridging mechanical and electrical engineering, now focused on embedded systems, IoT, RTOS, Embedded Linux, and PCB design. He pivoted from a mechanical engineering foundation to earn an MS in Electrical Engineering, bringing rare fluency in low-level C/C++ firmware, hardware integration, and systems-level thinking. Jake has shipped production embedded products across energy and charging domains at Vutility and WAVE Charging, and enjoys tackling secure, sustainable solutions for energy, connectivity, medical devices, and advanced manufacturing. A GNU/Linux aficionado and practical tinkerer, he pairs rigorous debugging and real-time control expertise with hands-on PCB and product-level tradeoffs. Off the clock he pursues mountaineering, skiing, climbing, and ambitious DIY projects—habits that mirror his appetite for technically challenging, long-horizon engineering problems.
