Summary
Jeff Bronte is a VP of Engineering and hands-on embedded systems expert with 20+ years designing high-performance, close-to-hardware software for startups and product teams. He holds a BSEE and has led end-to-end development of mission-critical systems including a Hollywood-audited 4K/8K CAS/DRM platform, SoC security integrations, and real-time video and networking stacks. Comfortable as the sole architect and implementer, Jeff combines deep C/C++ and Linux kernel driver experience with FPGA, video codec, and vision-AI platforms (Xilinx, Vitis AI, Petalinux). His background spans commercial products, military radios, and satellite modem front-ends, and he’s been part of multiple startups, investments, and holds four patents. Known for shipping lean, verifiable designs outside traditional org charts, he often takes full product responsibility from boot/board bring-up through deployment. Based in Rancho Santa Fe, he is open to moving from consulting to a permanent leadership role where technical ownership and security-critical design matter.
