Summary
👤
SeniorJoel Rico is a Senior Embedded Software Engineer with 11 years’ experience designing and delivering robust firmware and hardware for battery-powered IoT and consumer products. He has led embedded teams and architecture work—from BLE module firmware and modular RTOS ports to secure OTA and wired update systems—demonstrating a strong grasp of both low-level firmware and hardware design for production. At Brompton he combined test-driven development, CI/CD and modular SDK abstraction to make cross-platform MCU ports low-risk and highly testable, and at Felcana he took hardware from PoC through two manufacturing cycles. Comfortable bridging disciplines, he mentors engineers, defines production test jigs and tooling, and thrives on solving tricky HW-SW integration challenges under tight timelines. Based in London, he looks for technical roles where state-of-the-art tools and clear architecture let him turn complex requirements into reliable, maintainable products.
