Staff Software Engineer at Arm
Cambridge, England, United Kingdom
Summary
🤩
RockstarWilfried Chauveau is a Staff Software Engineer based in Cambridge with 11 years of experience specializing in embedded systems, IoT platforms and hardware abstraction layers. At Arm he drives IoT-SDK and mbed-os/Zephyr integrations, advising on cross-team duplication, architectural decisions and partnerships with major silicon vendors like ST and NXP. A pragmatic polyglot in C and Rust, he contributes to high-profile open-source projects such as Zephyr and Embassy, focusing on ARM Cortex‑M, interrupt handling, device trees and I2C/GPIO traits. He combines hands-on low-level firmware work—porting modules, fixing assembly constraints and resolving MacOS build issues—with systems thinking to improve team workflows and delivery. As a former CTO and founder, he also brings product and operational experience building fleet tracking solutions, back-end services and manufacturing-level hardware debugging. Colleagues seek him out for HAL design, Rust advocacy and practical solutions that bridge silicon quirks to reliable product behavior.
