Summary
Owen Lyke is an embedded software engineer with eight years of experience building reliable, production-grade hardware and firmware for robotics and automotive systems. Based in San Francisco, he has led cross-functional teams from startup product launches (Pixl Pro at Custom Litt) to safety-critical vehicle systems at Embark Trucks, shipping features like ASIL-D watchdog drivers and automotive power monitoring. He blends hands-on PCB and firmware development with product-level responsibilities—establishing CI/CD, OTA update infrastructure, versioned APIs, and manufacturing workflows to reduce cost and errors. Owen also co-founded katamari.io to tackle real-time collaboration and device control for AI assistants, showing a knack for systems thinking that bridges physical interfaces and cloud services. Colleagues rely on him to translate ambitious visions into executable, well-documented plans that scale from prototype to fielded product.
