Summary
Martin Menéndez is a project and electronic engineer with 11 years' experience specializing in safety-critical railway electronics, embedded systems and FPGA-based automation. Currently a PhD candidate at the University of Buenos Aires and a Project Engineer at Australian Rail Technology, he designs and reviews rail electronics to IEC61508 standards and authors lifecycle and requirements documentation. His background spans ARM Cortex-M, ESP32, Raspberry Pi, BeagleBone and Xilinx Zynq (Arty Z7-10) platforms, and he has automated generation of VHDL interlocking systems that compress design cycles from weeks to hours. A former CONICET researcher and postgraduate professor in RTOS and critical systems, he blends hands-on hardware/firmware development with research-led toolchain automation and practical field testing. Based in New South Wales, he pairs academic rigor with applied engineering to deliver auditable, safety-compliant solutions for complex rail topologies.
