Summary
Max Zhang is a senior lead systems architect with two decades of embedded systems and hardware-software integration experience, currently driving automotive BMS and wireless charging platform architecture at Samsung SDI America. He combines deep low-level expertise—BSP, bootloaders, device drivers and DSP algorithms—with practical experience across Embedded Linux, QNX, AUTOSAR and ISO26262 safety processes. Max has led cross-functional teams from concept through high-volume production, influencing hardware specs while delivering firmware, ML-enabled control software, and system-level verification (DVP&R). His background spans ARM/PowerPC SOCs, analog/RF circuit design, and sensor fusion for navigation and ADAS, reflecting a rare blend of board bring-up and system architecture skills. Known for hands-on troubleshooting with oscilloscopes, ICE and logic analyzers, he also mentors engineers and drives process improvements to hit realistic project milestones. Outside typical embedded roles, he has bridged infotainment connectivity (CarPlay/MirrorLink) and security optimizations, showing a penchant for making complex systems both performant and secure.
