Maciek Perkowski is a software test developer with a PhD in Physics and six years of hands-on experience building robust test frameworks for embedded and IoT systems. At Nordic Semiconductor he focuses on SW test development and contributes to Zephyr’s twister test runner, improving integration-mode behavior, prefiltration and reporting for a widely used open-source RTOS. His doctoral research trained him in experimental design, data acquisition, analysis and visualization—skills he now applies to automated testing and platform-specific debugging. Having worked in international labs across Poland, Belgium and Switzerland, he combines clear scientific communication with practical engineering and has supervised student projects from lab exercises to theses. Colleagues value his ability to translate complex experimental requirements into repeatable software tests and to quickly adapt test strategies as hardware and requirements evolve.
