Summary
Trent Palmer is a Senior Embedded Software Engineer with nine years of experience designing firmware and hardware-integrated products across defense, medical, and IoT domains. He has shipped production embedded C solutions for thermal imaging systems, medical wearables, and multi-protocol connectivity silicon (Zigbee, Matter, Thread, BLE), often acting as the bridge between international hardware teams and customer engineering groups. Comfortable across the full project lifecycle, he pairs low-level device interfacing (FPGA/RT level, NIOS II, DSP, ARM) with system-level testing and customer support. Trent’s background in electronics engineering and early career AV and systems roles gives him a practical, multidisciplinary perspective that helps him solve power, interface, and traceability challenges. Now at Raytheon, he continues to apply a blend of hands-on firmware craftsmanship and clear cross-team communication to deliver reliable, fielded products.
