Senior🎓
Top SchoolSimon Doppler is a firmware and embedded systems engineer with 11 years of hands-on experience designing firmware for safety-regulated medical devices, LiDAR sensors, and custom embedded Linux/FPGA platforms. He has delivered Zephyr, FreeRTOS, and Linux-based firmware compliant with IEC 62304, led FPGA/RTL and TCSPC flash LiDAR chip validation, and built automated testbenches and CI tooling to keep complex hardware–software stacks production-ready. Comfortable across low-level bare-metal drivers to higher-level Python/Qt UI work (notably contributing full-stack tab support to the qutebrowser project), he bridges firmware, hardware, and tooling teams to turn prototypes into reproducible products. Based in Lausanne and open to roles around Neuchâtel/Biel/Bern, Simon combines research experience with industry delivery and a knack for partial reconfiguration and embedded Linux system design that speeds iteration on novel sensing hardware.
