Summary
Joshua Kortje is a Senior Firmware Engineer with eight years of experience designing and delivering hardware-near systems at Lockheed Martin, where he progressed from intern to senior engineer. He brings a strong embedded toolset—VHDL, C++, Python, Matlab and Java—coupled with hands-on experience across firmware, hardware, and software integration. Comfortable in Agile teams and as an independent contributor, he has repeatedly shipped firmware across iterative development cycles on defense-grade projects. His academic foundation includes a Bachelor’s in Computer Engineering and ongoing graduate work in Electrical Engineering at Syracuse University, reflecting continuous technical depth-building. Based in Town of Salina, NY, he blends systems-level thinking with practical HDL and software skills that bridge FPGA-level design and higher-level algorithm implementation.
