Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolMahdi Olfat is a co-founder and embedded systems engineer with 11 years of experience designing high-performance hardware/software solutions for Silicon Valley and Waterloo startups. He led embedded architecture and mixed-signal ASIC/CMOS-MEMS work at ICSPI and helped bring the world’s first MEMS-based eye tracker to market at AdHawk Microsystems, combining system-level design with hands-on FPGA, MCU, and firmware development. His background in mechatronics and systems design (University of Waterloo) underpins deep expertise in sensing, actuation, and nanometer-scale metrology, from single-chip AFM interfaces to array sensing platforms. Mahdi has also contributed to SoC IP modeling and automated verification flows, giving him a broad view of productization from transistor to system. Based in San Jose, he blends academic rigor—working on AFM modeling and parallel MEMS cyber-physical systems—with founder-level product focus and execution. Colleagues know him for turning cutting-edge MEMS concepts into power-efficient, miniaturized microsystems that meet real-world interaction and measurement needs.
