Senior🎓
Top SchoolTim Kemp is a senior firmware and systems engineer with 13+ years of embedded systems experience building reliable products across lighting, appliances, transportation, and medical/hearing devices. He combines deep C/C++ firmware skills with systems architecture—designing bootloaders, closed-loop control algorithms (patented for Eaton’s WaveLinx daylight harvesting), and scalable automated routing solutions that saved a former employer. Tim is a frequent go-to technical lead who writes coding and code-review standards, mentors teams, and bridges hardware/software debugging with lab tools like oscilloscopes and protocol analyzers. His background spans microcontrollers to real-time OSes (VxWorks, QNX) and communications stacks (ZigBee, DALI, CAN), enabling him to add features to legacy products without disruption. Known for pragmatic problem solving and continuous improvement, he also shipped consumer-facing GUI firmware and created desktop simulation environments to accelerate development. Based in Fayetteville, GA, he brings a blend of hands-on debugging, architecture, and product-focused delivery informed by a BS in Electrical Engineering Technology.
