Summary
Kevin Maier is a Staff Embedded Software Engineer with two decades of experience delivering integrated hardware, firmware and ASIC products across startups and public companies. He has led firmware and systems teams from hands-on IC work to technical leadership roles, most recently driving manufacturing firmware, split-compute graphics pipelines, and telemetry for AR/VR glasses at Meta. Kevin excels at turning constrained designs into shipping products—architecting MCU subsystems, CI/CD for firmware, and manufacturing test systems—while mentoring engineers and improving cross-functional processes. His background spans deeply embedded C on RTOS and bare-metal environments, ARM/Linux ASIC ports, front-end UI integrations, and end-to-end product launches. Based in Coquitlam, Canada, he pairs operational rigor from leadership roles like VP of Engineering with a tinkerer’s curiosity—recently describing himself as “retired” while actively exploring old and new technologies. That blend of practical delivery and continued experimentation makes him a rare technical leader who still enjoys rolling up his sleeves.
