Summary
Miguel Rasteiro is a Senior Embedded System Engineer with 11 years of experience designing and verifying safety-critical aerospace and automotive systems, specializing in DO-178-aligned V&V, low-level firmware and HW/SW integration. He has led teams to turn prototypes into certifiable production software for USB‑C power systems and Flight Warning System verification, while authoring complex test files and building tooling to reduce human error. Skilled in C/C++, Python, RTOS, BSPs and device drivers, Miguel brings deep protocol experience (A429/A664/A825/A629, I2C, SPI, USB, BLE) and hands-on hardware debugging with JTAG, oscilloscopes and logic analyzers. He combines rigorous requirements traceability and automated testing (Robot Framework, pytest, Jenkins) with practical experience on ARM Cortex microcontrollers and soft cores. Unusually for an embedded engineer, his background includes biomedical laboratory work and academic signal‑processing research, which contributes to a meticulous, measurement-driven approach to system validation. Based in Coimbra, Portugal, he is known for improving team delivery quality through process improvements, tooling and mentoring newcomers.
