José Meza is a Software System Architect with over a decade of hands-on experience designing and delivering embedded firmware and system-level solutions, currently leading Zephyr-based EC firmware standardization at Intel. He specializes in firmware and software architecture for ARM and Intel platforms, kernel drivers, hardware bring-up, and has driven migrations from custom schedulers to Zephyr RTOS on new embedded controllers. His work spans handset low-level software from early career at Nokia to system-wide controller firmware and eSPI/USB-C integration at Intel, showing a rare combination of circuit-level debugging and large-scale firmware architecture. An active contributor to the Zephyr RTOS community, he implemented and adapted drivers for Microchip MEC172x/MEC152x and helped align device trees and documentation to ease EC vendor adoption. Based in Folsom, CA, José pairs deep curiosity for new technologies with pragmatic delivery—often eliminating SoC-specific workarounds to simplify cross-vendor development.
