Paul Daniel
Los Angeles, California, United States
Summary
👤
SeniorPaul Daniel is a prototyper who turns sketchy components and half-built vehicles into executive-ready demonstrations, currently enabling Ford’s shift-left validation by building high-fidelity "steel thread" prototypes that inform multi-billion dollar decisions. With ~20 years across defense, avionics, rugged edge, robotics, and consumer hardware, he excels at embedded Linux bring-up, CAN/LIN vehicle integration, ARINC avionics, and RF/signal validation—skills honed from Navy electronics work through roles at Exelis, RITEC, and startups. He prefers short-run, high-impact builds: design custom electronics and embedded software, wire up gateways and MQTT control, then hand off a proven product rather than maintain long-lived codebases. Notably, he rebuilt a cut-in-half vehicle into a fully controllable demo platform so product managers could run demos without engineers in the loop, and he brings that same hands-on maker drive to personal projects like a custom digital cluster for his 2007 Mustang GT.
