Søren Friis is an experienced audio and embedded software engineer with over two decades of deep technical work across mobile devices, drones, robotics and imaging systems. He combines low-level C/C++ and near-hardware development with system and release architecture expertise, having led OS, Yocto/Ubuntu, Mender and CI/CD solutions for robotics and device fleets. His career includes extensive camera, video and sensor integration—RealSense, FLIR, TOF—and practical experience tuning image pipelines, calibration and cross-platform USB gadget support. At Intel he moved from DSP assembly and codec implementation to system design and platform releases, delivering features from four-camera pipelines to drone Remote ID standards and Bluetooth firmware. Based in Tampere, Finland, Søren blends hands-on firmware and Linux systems work with vendor and subcontractor management, often converting research prototypes into secure, updateable production platforms. A pragmatic problem-solver, he routinely bridges BIOS/kernel-level debugging up to cloud-enabled release management for complex embedded products.
