Top SchoolJonathan L is a Principal Hardware Scientist based in Fremont with over a decade of hands-on experience designing and managing OEM/ODM x86 server platforms for Riverbed’s WAN, SD-WAN, hyper-converged and NPM products. He blends deep analog and digital hardware expertise—capacitive sensing, SONET/T1/DSL line cards, power/thermal and carrier-class chassis—with firmware, BMC and regulatory compliance experience across multiple CPU generations and board families. A proven startup and product leader, he led Loadstar’s R&D to ship the world’s first capacitive USB load cell and helped raise $12M in venture funding. Jonathan is comfortable in both Silicon Valley and Taiwanese/Chinese ODM environments, practices Mandarin with partners, and prefers low-level tools like ipmitool, dmidecode and i2cdetect to debug systems. Notably, he has shepherded full product lifecycles from concept to EOL for multi-SKU platforms and continues to manage hardware EOLs, firmware and compliance for Riverbed’s Gen 8 servers.
