Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolSteven Hill is a Principal Software Engineer with 26 years of deep expertise in embedded Linux and RTOS development across ARM, MIPS, and PowerPC SoCs, currently driving avionics and mission-critical software at Rockwell Collins. He combines hands-on kernel and board-support work—having led upstream Linux kernel submissions for new MIPS cores—with long-term contractor experience through his own firm, Reality Diluted, L.L.C. His background spans semiconductor, defense, and SoC vendors (Cavium, Broadcom, MIPS/Imagination), giving him rare cross-domain insight from silicon to flight-certified systems. With an MSEE focused on digital and avionics systems and a history of shipping low-level drivers and BSPs, he excels at turning complex hardware requirements into robust, maintainable firmware. Colleagues rely on him for upstreaming tough kernel patches and architecting reliable embedded platforms under stringent safety and performance constraints.
