Summary
Jon Palmer is a Senior Software Engineer based in Phoenix, Arizona with 7+ years of professional experience and two decades of deep involvement in real-time embedded and safety-critical graphics systems. He has led full life-cycle development—from requirements and design through verification and system integration—for avionics and robotics programs, delivering certified OpenGL Safety Critical and prototype Vulkan solutions across multiple RTOSes. His recent work spans embedded web interfaces, fault diagnostics for robotic vehicles, and model-based flight-control verification for major defense programs. Known for bridging low-level optimization (graphics pipelines, platform resource analysis) with human-factors-informed product design, he thrives on turning complex aerospace requirements into auditable, testable software. Outside work he balances a full-time family life while steadily evolving his engineering craft, reflecting a pragmatic, long-term commitment to both reliability and continuous learning.
