Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolNathaniel Tye is an embedded software engineer with nine years of experience building DSP firmware and hardware-aware ML systems for medical and neuromorphic devices, currently developing digital signal processing firmware at Sonova in Switzerland. His background blends a PhD in graphene technology with hands-on embedded C/C++ firmware, custom PCB design, and TCAD semiconductor modelling, enabling cross-domain optimizations such as a ~20% quantum efficiency improvement and dramatic test-time reductions. At SynSense he bridged algorithms and silicon—implementing spiking neural networks for audio, contributing to an open-source SNN toolkit, and applying data-driven models to IC test workflows. Comfortable from device physics to production firmware, he brings a rare mix of research rigor and pragmatic engineering that speeds prototypes toward commercial medical products.
