Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolJamie Smith is a Firmware Engineer II with 13 years of experience building robust embedded systems, currently leading firmware development for multiple avionics boxes at Relativity Space. He specializes in low-level drivers, industrial Ethernet, and custom build systems—having created desktop simulators and a second-generation firmware framework that ports FreeRTOS and LwIP across processors. Jamie has a strong track record in space hardware from his time as Avionics Lead at USC RPL, where his HAMSTER avionics flew on Traveler 4 and spawned a community-focused Mbed CE project. He combines deep C/C++ and toolchain expertise (notably contributions to Arm Mbed OS build and toolchain configs) with a passion for teaching and reproducible engineering, evidenced by course production work at USC and published tooling for CNC and RF systems. He maintains a principled stance against weaponization of his work, preferring projects that advance education, robotics, and peaceful aerospace applications.
