Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolJohn Xie is a Senior Software Engineer with over a decade of experience building low-level firmware and embedded systems for oil & gas, battery testing, and inertial navigation hardware. He has a strong background in C/C++ firmware, device drivers (SPI, I2C, UART, GPIO), wireless protocols (WiFi, LoRa, Inovonics), and sensor integration including IMUs, RTDs, pressure and torque transducers. His career spans industry and academia—from shipping commercial products and a US patent to developing numerical algorithms and HPC software during postdoc and research appointments. Currently at Weatherford, he architects embedded completion systems that combine RFID, WiFi, gyros and motor control for downhole applications. Not obvious from his title: his early scientific computing work (Fortran/C) and international research fellowships underpin a rare depth in numerical methods and low-level performance tuning. Based in Houston, he blends rigorous research habits with practical product delivery across hardware-constrained, safety- and reliability-critical domains.
