Summary
Nathan Roth is an Embedded Support Engineer with 11 years of hands-on experience in computer architecture, firmware, ASIC/FPGA design, and PCB development. He combines practical ARM Thumb-2 and C/C++ firmware skills with VHDL-based SOC design and FPGA experience from university projects, and has recently applied that hardware-first mindset to PCB and pneumatic control unit design on competitive robotics teams. Nathan has commercial experience across embedded platform and product engineering roles at Direct Supply, John Deere, and Extreme Engineering Solutions, where he supports complex hardware-software integrations. Pragmatic about manufacturability, he emphasizes component selection, bypass/decoupling practices, and design tolerances informed by fabrication constraints—insights gained from mentorship by industry engineers and an embedded fabrication course. Based in Madison, Wisconsin, he bridges academic depth in computer architecture with real-world product delivery.
