Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolPreet Kang is a seasoned connectivity and embedded systems leader with over a decade of hands-on experience building firmware, OTA platforms, and vehicle networking at companies including Tesla, Sibros, and now Rivian/Volkswagen Group Technologies. He has a proven track record scaling engineering teams (growing firmware teams from single digits to 30+ engineers), instituting rigorous unit-testing and safety practices, and cutting firmware update times from hours to minutes for fleets of ECUs. Technically fluent in C/C++, Go, Python and low-level networking (lwIP, CAN, I2C, SPI), he combines deep embedded expertise with product architecture leadership—driving features like remote diagnostics, OTA, and vehicle data logging. A longtime RTOS educator at San José State University, he brings a teacher’s clarity to mentoring and process building, and has repeatedly translated research-level ideas into production-grade systems. Not obvious from titles: he’s repeatedly re-architected update and logging stacks to solve large-scale integration problems across diverse vehicle platforms, enabling customers to port solutions more rapidly. Based in Fremont, CA, he blends academic pedigree (MS, BS in Computer Engineering) with pragmatic, fleet-scale engineering delivery.
