Martin Braun
Chief Engineer NI Test & Measurement At Emerson at GNU Radio Project
Baden-Württemberg, Germany
Summary
🤩
RockstarMartin Braun is a wireless systems engineer and manager with 12+ years of experience who currently serves as Chief Engineer for NI Test & Measurement at Emerson and as a GNU Radio board member. He blends hands-on FPGA and embedded work on the USRP platform with backend and test automation expertise, having contributed to prominent projects like GNU Radio, UHD, and PyBOMBS. Martin is an SDR hacker and USRP architect who modernizes codebases—bringing C++11/14 improvements, robust unit testing, and build-system fixes—to bridge research prototypes and production test systems. Based in Baden-Württemberg, he advocates for leveraging open source to boost engineering efficiency and often surfaces non-obvious reliability fixes (deadlock and lock/unlock freezes) that improve long-running radio systems.
