Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolKen Davidson is an embedded software engineer with over a decade of experience designing hardware and writing the tight, hard real-time control code that runs on it. He has shipped motor-control and instrumentation firmware across a wide range of processors (including H8, MSP430, RX62) using C, C++, and assembly, and has a track record of modernizing legacy products and enabling new revenue-generating lines. Comfortable bridging disciplines, he’s taken projects from schematic and board layout through RTOS-based firmware and touch‑screen GUIs, and has supported Linux servers and LAMP apps on the side. Notably, his work has included running large numbers of servo motors without dedicated motor controller hardware and contributing to patented automation solutions. Based in Connecticut, he combines systems-level engineering judgment with practical field-support experience, making him as effective in product design as in keeping products reliable in production.
