Summary
Stephen Friederichs is a Senior Embedded Systems Engineer with 16 years of hands-on experience designing and delivering safety-critical firmware and hardware for avionics, SATCOM antenna controls, and electromechanical systems. He combines deep expertise across multiple MCU families, RTOSes, analog power and motor control design, and board layout with proven DO-178/DO-254 V&V and tool-qualification experience. At Moog he develops real-time VxWorks software and EtherCAT motion control for zero-G test rigs, and previously led DO-178 DAL B projects and automated test environments for avionics at Certon. Known for bridging software, hardware, and test—he’s practical in the lab and strategic in project estimation and proposals—often adapting commercial tools to fit bespoke model-based workflows. Based in Littleton, Colorado, he brings both low-level debugging chops and systems-level control design for high-accuracy, safety-focused applications.
