Summary
Jesse Merritt is a versatile engineer with 14+ years building embedded hardware and firmware, touchscreen controllers, and custom single-board computers across industries from consumer electronics to vehicle services. He is highly proficient in C and Python, with deep Linux experience and a track record of delivering drivers, DMA-driven SPI libraries, LibUSB solutions, and real-time tools for high-speed data visualization. At IdleAire he helped develop a patented engine-idle notification system and a SBC still in production, and at Elo Touch he created kernel and user-space tooling for touchscreen analysis and field-failure reduction. Comfortable bridging analog and digital domains, he designs both electronics and mechanical systems—having built a 3D printer and CNC router for his projects—and mentors a middle school robotics club. Colleagues rely on him for pragmatic failure analysis, firmware porting across ARM and MSP430 platforms, and producing manufacturable test procedures that scale to production.
