Summary
Jun Li is a founding engineer and embedded systems expert with two decades of cross-domain experience building secure, performance-sensitive products from PoC to production. He blends deep firmware and SoC knowledge (ARM/ARC/XTensa), real-time OS expertise (Zephyr, Linux kernel, Android), and strong software skills in C/C++/Java/Python to architect robotics, UWB positioning, and AI-driven camera systems. At Intel he led firmware and system architecture for high-profile projects—from synchronized drone shows and wearable sensors to EMVCo-certified payment devices and AI surveillance with DeepStream—demonstrating a rare ability to shepherd hardware, firmware, and certification simultaneously. A hands-on leader and mentor, he has driven Agile teams, CI/CD pipelines, and secure manufacturing labs while applying cryptography and sensor fusion to harden embedded products. His background in OCR and camera-based mobile imaging, combined with a PhD in pattern recognition, gives him a practical edge in turning perception research into deployable products. Based in California, he’s equally comfortable diving into kernel-level optimizations or sketching system-level architectures for robot-human interaction.
