Summary
Pascal Canuel is a Senior Firmware Engineer based in Palo Alto with eight years of cross-disciplinary experience spanning low-level firmware, hardware design, FPGA algorithms, and high-level software. He honed his firmware and tooling expertise through multiple roles and internships at Tesla—owning and improving critical ECU plotting tools, developing SIL/HIL integrations, and delivering power electronics firmware—while earlier work ranged from medical device firmware to FPGA-based real-time imaging and satellite-grade acquisition hardware. With dual backgrounds in computer science and electrical engineering (4.2/4.3 GPA), he bridges schematics to systems, enabling clearer collaboration between hardware and software teams. Known for shipping pragmatic, high-impact solutions under constraints, he pairs a hands-on mindset with a taste for ambitious challenges—whether validating inverter firmware or modeling a satellite’s magnetic signature—and brings the persistence of an ultramarathoner to technically demanding projects.
