Summary
Onur Kapucu is a program manager and embedded software engineer with nine years of experience delivering hardware-software products from concept to mass production across aerospace, consumer appliances, and defense. He combines an MS in Mechanical Engineering and an MBA-level business perspective to bridge technical teams and commercial strategy, having led a $1M program at Boeing and delivered flight software that enabled 16-hour continuous operation. Known for translating exploratory projects into focused MVPs, he standardizes test data and reduces redundancy to accelerate program wins and cost savings. His work on sensor-less sensing and model-based code generation helped appliances reach six-figure unit volumes while cutting cost and development time. Equally comfortable managing cross-functional, international teams as he is writing embedded control code, he brings a pragmatic, systems-level approach that uncovers value both in production programs and early-stage simulation efforts.
