Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolJim Steele is a founder, engineering leader, and physicist with 12 years of hands-on experience building and scaling deep-tech startups and enterprise embedded software teams from prototype to exit. He combines uncommon domain breadth—sensor fusion, low-power DSPs, edge ML, real-time CV, and OS-level ML acceleration—with a track record of shipping at scale (Sensor Platforms → Audience → Knowles; led embedded at Samsara; built Amazon’s hardware-agnostic ML library). Comfortable moving between C/C++/Python prototyping and high-level strategy, he has repeatedly turned technical debt into velocity and built teams that enabled IPOs and Series B financing. Currently bootstrapping a stealth sensor+generative-AI startup while teaching Edge ML and hardware accelerators at Santa Clara University, he uniquely bridges academic rigor (PhD-level physics training) with product-focused execution.
