Summary
Ritik Mishra is an engineer with 11 years of hands-on experience building firmware, vehicle control software, and full-stack tooling, currently focused on bare-metal firmware and test infrastructure for high power-density electronics. He has moved between startups and manufacturing environments, shipping firmware for battery management systems and telemetry for battery-electric rail vehicles, and has ownership experience modernizing a 100k+ LOC MATLAB slicing/toolpath monolith into Rust-based 2D geometry code. Comfortable across the stack, his background includes cloud data tooling, TypeScript front-ends, and Kubernetes, but he is distinctly hardware-inclined—comfortable translating electrical and mechanical constraints into reliable embedded software. Based in the San Francisco Bay Area, he combines fast prototyping instincts with production-grade testing infrastructure to optimize for kW/kg and kW/$. A pragmatic collaborator, he brings both low-level firmware craft and higher-level system thinking to accelerated product cycles.
