Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolJordan Yates is Head of Engineering at Embeint and a specialist in ultra-low-power embedded firmware with a decade of experience across industrial research and productisation. He spent six years in CSIRO’s Data61 Distributed Sensing Systems group, bringing research-grade rigor to commercial IoT solutions and often influencing hardware choices from IC and sensor selection through schematic review. A maintainer and active contributor to the widely used Zephyr RTOS under the Linux Foundation, Jordan owns the Zephyr LoRaWAN and CMSIS-NN subsystems and has driven power-management and architecture-level fixes for ARM Cortex platforms. His expertise spans BLE, NB‑IoT/CAT‑M1, LoRaWAN and even MEO satellite comms, enabling end-to-end designs where software and hardware are co-optimised for extreme energy efficiency. Based in Queensland, Australia, he pairs an MEng background from The University of Queensland and TUM with hands-on open-source leadership to deliver production-ready embedded systems.

Contributions summary:Jordan primarily contributed to the Zephyr RTOS, focusing on improving the low-level and hardware-specific aspects of the system. Their work included updating and correcting exception handling routines for ARM architectures, specifically targeting Cortex-M, Cortex-R, and Cortex-A processors. They also implemented support for power domain management in multiple drivers, including SPI flash and Wi-Fi, and addressing issues related to peripheral behaviour, such as the Bluetooth SPI driver and the STM32 IWDG watchdog. The contributions involved correcting errors, fixing potential deadlocks, and enhancing driver's integration with the power management framework.
