Summary
Tong Wu is an Embedded Software Lead based in Cambridge, MA with a decade of hands-on experience bridging hardware, firmware, and cloud for consumer electronics and additive manufacturing. He has progressed from mechatronics and design roles to leading embedded teams at Formlabs, shipping subsystems for market-leading SLA printers while mentoring engineers and coordinating cross-discipline prototyping. Tong’s technical breadth spans Embedded Linux, C/C++, Python, ESP32 firmware, IoT cloud stacks (Google Cloud/Firebase), and CAD-driven DFx, enabling him to solve product problems from enclosure tolerance stacks to production-grade firmware. He has a track record of turning lab prototypes into reliable products—building automated test rigs, logging and analytics backends, and manufacturable parts—and brings a practical systems view that’s as comfortable in a PCB lab as in a CI pipeline.
