Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolRuss Hoffman is an embedded software engineer with over three decades of hands-on experience, formally trained at Carnegie Mellon and focused most recently on embedded firmware for autonomous mobile robots and industrial systems. He combines deep hardware and firmware expertise—starting with an 8-bit SBC design in 1984—with leadership roles across embedded systems, UNIX, and hardware design from companies like FORE Systems, ST Engineering/Aethon, and Sensia Global. As owner of Evaton Technologies he designs commercial analog and digital synthesizers, reflecting a rare blend of product-minded analog design and low-level software craftsmanship. Currently positioned to work remotely from Portugal, he brings a steady, pragmatic approach to complex embedded problems and hardware review. Colleagues value his ability to move between schematic-level decisions and production firmware, and his career shows consistent delivery on long-lived, safety- and performance-critical systems.
