Summary
Vitor Ferreira is a Senior Software Engineer with 11 years of experience building embedded and safety-critical systems across aerospace and high-energy physics. He has moved from designing FPGA-based, low-latency data and timing electronics for particle detectors to developing certified avionics and battery management software (DO-178C) for both civil and military aircraft. Vitor blends hands-on firmware (C/C++, RTOS, HDL) and FPGA expertise with test automation, CI/CD and HIL/SIL validation, ensuring traceable, requirement-based verification. His master's work implementing convolutional neural networks on FPGAs adds a rare ML-on-edge perspective to mission-critical development. Based in São Paulo, he’s contributed to large international collaborations (CERN/Fermilab) and now applies that rigor to commercial aerospace programs at Embraer and Archer.
