Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolJason Kajita is a seasoned embedded-compiler leader with 15 years in compiler and toolchain engineering at Microchip Technology, now managing Embedded-Compiler Development for MIPS and ARM. He progressed from test-engineering into principal engineering and now management, driving the MPLAB XC32 GCC-based toolchain and shipping features like improved interrupt handling, linker memory reports, and MCU-variant support. Jason blends hands-on compiler patches and attribute implementations with customer-facing roles—supporting FAE teams, training users, and traveling to key customers—so he understands both low-level code generation and real-world product constraints. Based in Chandler, AZ, he mentors distributed teams across continents and has a background in automating test frameworks, reflecting a pragmatic focus on quality and developer productivity. An ASU-educated computer systems engineer, he brings deep domain expertise in MIPS/ARM embedded toolchains that few managers can match.
