Top SchoolRyan Gleim is a firmware and embedded systems leader with nine years of formal experience and a 20+-year engineering pedigree spanning avionics, medical devices, and autonomous vehicles. Currently Manager of Firmware Engineering at Zoox, he has led cross-site teams, introduced Agile and CI/CD practices, and delivered safety-critical systems at scale for companies like Medtronic and Outrider. He pairs hands-on low-level expertise (ARM, RTOS, CAN, U-Boot) with program-level improvements—automating builds/tests and saving thousands of hours while tightening documentation and release controls. Known for pragmatic architecture choices, he has driven event-driven designs and task separation to improve reliability in AV and medical products. Based in Vista, CA, he balances “fun with firmware” curiosity (active on GitHub) with a disciplined, measurable approach to tooling and process improvement.
