Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolMichael Bolt is a Radio Frequency Engineer with a decade of hands-on experience designing, testing, and troubleshooting complex RF hardware and embedded systems across high-performance environments including Optiver and SpaceX. He combines full-spectrum skills—from system definition, mixed-signal PCB layout and firmware to automated test infrastructure and UI tooling—to accelerate development and production throughput. At SpaceX he overhauled RF production test systems and built multi-axis IMU test infrastructure and HALT setups, cutting test cycle time dramatically and increasing reliability. His academic work includes leading large-scale wireless sensor deployments, 5G retrodirective array prototyping, and writing bare-metal OS and drivers for constrained nodes, reflecting deep low-level competence. Equally comfortable in the lab or mentoring others, he has a track record of translating research into robust production systems and improving team capability through teaching and documentation. Based in Amsterdam with a PhD-focused background from Auburn University, he brings both experimental rigor and pragmatic engineering to RF challenges.
