Summary
Jeramie Vens is an embedded systems software engineer with over a decade of experience designing and shipping low-level firmware and Linux kernel drivers for avionics test-and-measurement and wearable consumer products. He builds IIO, Character Device, and PCIe drivers, manages Yocto-based Linux builds and CI pipelines, and develops bare-metal and RTOS firmware for ARM co-processors. At Viavi and Garmin he combined hardware design, antenna tuning, and power-optimized embedded development鈥攐nce enabling a year-long coin-cell life for a wearable through tight hardware-software co-design. He also taught a senior-level operating systems course at Iowa State, modernizing labs and using Git/GitHub extensively to teach advanced C and kernel concepts. Comfortable across C/C++ userland and kernel boundaries, he frequently bridges FPGA, firmware, and software teams to accelerate hardware-in-the-loop testing. Based in Kansas City, he brings practical systems thinking and a knack for making hard-to-test embedded designs observable and debuggable.
