Summary
Samuel Zhang is a Staff Firmware Engineer with over a decade of hands-on experience designing low-level firmware and SOC drivers for wireless and multimedia products. He combines deep C and assembly expertise with practical mastery of embedded OSes (VxWorks, VRTX, μC/OS-II, Linux), file systems, and protocols such as I2C, CSI and USB, and has repeatedly delivered production-ready NAND/FTL, EHCI and USB HCD drivers. Samuel has led SoC projects from architecture through test infrastructure and factory tooling, notably steering a Wireless USB SoC and a media-streaming dongle product that included NTFS/FAT virtual disk and Android demo work. Known for register- and memory-level debugging, interrupt/DMA design, and clear cross-team communication, he also brings project management discipline to firmware delivery. Based in Shanghai, he pairs a Beihang University graduate background with a pragmatic “Happy Or Nothing” attitude toward resilient embedded systems.
