Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolPaul Fagerburg is a seasoned software and embedded systems engineer with nine years of focused experience and a career spanning safety-critical industries including aviation, medical devices, military, and consumer electronics. He has led teams of 3–16 engineers through full product lifecycles, delivering firmware, hardware, and software that meet rigorous standards such as DO-178B/C, DO-254, MIL-STD-810F, and FDA class II/III requirements. At companies from Syncroness to Google, he has driven test automation, boosted unit-test coverage, and introduced modern testing practices (GoogleTest/GoogleMock) to improve quality and maintainability. His open-source firmware contributions include low-level memory and sensor support work in the widely referenced coreboot project, reflecting deep platform and board-support expertise. Based in Longmont, Colorado, he pairs an MS in Electrical Engineering (4.0) with hands-on skills in real-time systems, MISRA-compliant C/C++ development, and hardware-aware debugging—skills honed by leading million-dollar projects and high-volume production releases. Anecdotally, he once adopted the nickname "Electrical Paul" to avoid email mix-ups with a mechanical-engineer namesake, a small marker of his collaborative, down-to-earth approach.
