Summary
Radu Alexe is a wireless and firmware-focused software engineer with 11 years of experience building low-level systems at the intersection of signal processing, ML and computer architecture. Based in Bucharest, he has driven production features across NXP/Freescale—implementing cryptographic accelerators, Linux drivers and secure-session APIs, extending Bluetooth Link Layer on Zephyr for RISC-V hardware, and contributing to Zigbee/802.15.4 stacks. His background spans baseband LTE kernels, multimedia compression tools and academic research, bringing both rigorous mathematical grounding (PhD-level work in signal processing) and pragmatic product delivery. He routinely bridges hardware and software: FPGA testing, SDIO integration for ESP32, and porting/optimizing DSP algorithms for embedded platforms. Notably, he helped enable the first open-source Bluetooth software on open RISC-V hardware, showing a penchant for pioneering, reproducible engineering. Colleagues value his ability to translate complex algorithms into efficient, testable low-level code across constrained embedded environments.
