Senior🎓
Top SchoolRicardo Silva is a Senior Embedded Software Engineer and technical leader with over 20 years of hands-on experience and nine years in senior roles, specializing in embedded Linux, RTOS, device drivers and STB/DVB middleware for digital television. He has architected and led R&D for high-end set-top box platforms, designing isolated, service-based stacks, Yocto/OpenEmbedded build systems and certification-ready bootloader/CA implementations for international operators. Equally comfortable debugging low-level SDK and OS show-stoppers as he is defining CI, unit testing and release processes, he frequently gets called in to solve the hardest platform issues. A pragmatic coach and co-founder, he has delivered products across ARM, MIPS and multiple chipset vendors while integrating third-party middleware and conditional access systems. Based in Lisbon with a Master's in Software Engineering and Computer Science, he combines deep systems expertise with a track record of turning complex, security-sensitive requirements into certified, production-ready devices. An understated detail: he’s repeatedly been the go-to engineer for critical platform bring-ups and cross-border R&D collaborations.
