Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolSimon Hobbs is an embedded systems designer with nine years of experience building safety-critical, deterministic real-time hardware and firmware for precision optical and sensing systems. As co-founder of Hobbs ElectroOptics he helped develop an exceptionally sensitive shot-noise-limited photoreceiver, and at ElectroOptical Innovations he designs ARM Cortex-M3/M0-based data acquisition and control systems for demanding optical instruments. His background spans FPGA trigger systems for dark-matter experiments to delta-sigma PWM techniques and PCB design, reflecting a blend of hands-on prototyping and rigorous engineering. Based in Houston, he pairs physics and mechanical engineering training with a growing interest in CAD-driven code, bringing an experimentalist’s attention to noise, timing, and scalability in embedded productization.
