Mehdi Khairy is an RF and embedded systems R&D engineer with 15 years’ experience designing low-power radio hardware, FPGA-based systems and production test benches across startups and industrial teams in the Greater Paris area. Founder of Skunk RF and previously Simpulse and SDR-Technologies, he blends hands-on schematic/PCB design, Verilog/FPGA development and C firmware with field diagnostics and long-duration measurement campaigns. He’s contributed backend automation and multi-threaded optimizations to the well-known prjxray project documenting Xilinx 7-series bitstreams, showing a knack for tooling and build-process improvements. Comfortable moving between prototype and production, he has repeatedly shipped gateway and IoT devices, FTTH test equipment and radio qualification studies (FSK, NB-FSK, LoRa). Colleagues value his habit of using every project—personal or professional—to learn new tools and push low-power radio or FPGA architectures further. Fluent in embedded and RF tradecraft, he combines pragmatic debugging skills with entrepreneurial initiative.
