Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolSuleiman Barakat is a Senior Embedded Engineer with nine years of experience building autonomy software, RTL, and safety-critical embedded firmware for aerospace platforms. Currently at SpaceX after a multi-year tenure at Sikorsky, he has delivered real-time firmware on Cortex-R, Linux application stacks on Cortex-A, and modular system software that powers autonomy, control, and monitoring features. He has a strong track record in high-throughput telemetry, visualization of 100GB+ datasets, and designing reusable frameworks (including a multi-backend graphics framework) that accelerate product development. Suleiman pairs hands-on firmware and SoC-level expertise with systems thinking—redesigning IPCs, implementing fail-safe autonomous recovery, and mentoring junior engineers. He holds an MS in Computer Science from Georgia Tech and a BS in Electrical and Electronics Engineering, and outside of work he balances technical rigor with a passion for rock climbing. An engineer who moves comfortably between low-level RTL/firmware and higher-level autonomy systems, he brings pragmatic solutions to complex, safety-critical problems.
