Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolJosh Elijah is an electronic systems engineer and founder with nine years of experience building high-performance hardware at the intersection of networking, low-latency systems, and robotics. He leads BotBlox and previously founded Kapek Design, scaling a profitable, bootstrapped hardware business whose networking products are used by organizations like NASA, Tesla, and Lockheed Martin. At Morgan Stanley he architected and deployed custom ultra-low-latency FPGA and photonics solutions that shaved tens of nanoseconds from trading paths and yielded multiple patents. His hands-on portfolio spans FPGAs, photonics, RF, and industrial protocols (10G+, PCIe Gen4/5, Single-Pair Ethernet), and he contributes to standards bodies shaping embedded networking. Equally comfortable in prototyping and production, he has taken complete electronics stacks from concept to manufacture—most notably enabling Standard Bots’ Series A. He combines deep technical rigor with commercial instincts, often solving systems-level problems others treat as separate disciplines.
