Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolNico Korn is an embedded firmware engineer based in the Zürich area with eight years of hands-on experience building firmware, custom PCBs, and end-to-end embedded solutions across MCUs and MPUs. He has shipped production software using Zephyr, Yocto Linux and FreeRTOS on platforms like STM32, TI AM335x and nRF52840, and is fluent in C, C++ and Python. His background blends applied electrical engineering and software craftsmanship—starting from Java tooling he built to automate lab processes to designing embedded products and leading feasibility-to-delivery projects. At companies such as Kistler, R&M and X-Rite he has owned module concepting, integration, automated testing and lifecycle support while contributing to architecture reviews and partner collaborations. Colleagues rely on him for pragmatic prototyping, low-level debugging (including machine-code analysis) and translating research ideas into manufacturable designs. He continuously explores new languages and platforms and is comfortable moving quickly from proof-of-concept to robust fielded firmware.
