Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolSimon Tegelid is a CTO with a decade of experience building embedded and cloud-connected systems for automotive and energy domains, currently leading Bitvis to deliver consumer-facing platforms that support the green transition. He brings deep hands-on expertise in CAN/CAN-FD, FlexRay, automotive Ethernet and embedded safety software from roles at Autoliv, NIRA Dynamics and AFRY, combined with leadership in innovation processes like design sprints. As a contributor to well-known open-source CAN tooling (python-can and cantools), he has improved protocol support, logging and test automation—showing a strong focus on reliable data handling and developer tools. His background spans low-level algorithm work (inertial navigation and Kalman filters) to product ownership and project leadership (PRINCE2), enabling him to bridge research, engineering and go-to-market concerns. Based in the Linköping area with an M.Sc. in Electrical and Electronics Engineering, he pairs pragmatic engineering with a systems view of how software, hardware and grids interact. An understated strength is his consistent emphasis on test automation and tooling, which repeatedly turns complex vehicle and grid data flows into maintainable, production-ready systems.
