Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolSergei Ovchinnikov is an R&D engineer specializing in embedded systems and power management firmware, currently developing software for Nordic Semiconductor's PMICs. With three years of professional experience, he bridges low-level C/CMake development on target devices and high-level Python tooling on hosts to streamline embedded SW testing and CI/CD for internal teams. His contributions to the Zephyr RTOS—adding charger sensor features, fixing regulator hardware bugs, and updating PMIC drivers—reflect practical expertise in RTOS drivers, sensor integration, and power-management edge cases. Trained with master's studies at NTNU and TU Kaiserslautern and a bachelor's in mechatronics, he pairs academic depth with hands-on work across automotive and electronics projects. Notably, he focuses on abstracting embedded complexity behind ergonomic Python interfaces, making test writing significantly faster for colleagues.
