Steve Benz is a Senior Firmware Engineer with over two decades of hands-on experience building real-time embedded systems for automotive, consumer, and industrial IoT products. He has deep expertise in ARM SoCs, embedded Linux/Yocto, RTOSes, device drivers and low-latency sensor and wireless stacks, and has recently integrated edge AI (Hailo-8) to deploy YOLO models on Zynq UltraScale platforms. At Apple he owned safety-critical PCS communications with full requirements-to-test traceability, and at multiple startups he’s improved boot/wake latency, CI/CD pipelines, and production firmware reliability. Comfortable across C/C++, Python, Golang and FPGA-adjacent bring-up work, he bridges firmware, hardware and cloud integration to enable smart-device analytics. Based in California, he pairs rigorous embedded engineering discipline with a practical bias for shipping measurable system-level improvements.
