Senior🎓
Top SchoolWilkins White is a Senior Embedded Engineer with 11 years of experience designing firmware, kernel drivers, and PCB assemblies for robotics and embedded platforms. Based in Philomath, Oregon, he leads hardware layout, prototyping, and production coordination while developing low-level C/C++ firmware and Nvidia Jetson kernel drivers for products like Dax. He built an OTA update pipeline and a CANopen-based bootloader, and contributed to the well-known CANopenNode stack by extending emergency callback and SYNC handling—demonstrating deep expertise in CAN protocol internals. Comfortable in both hands-on repair support and system architecture, he bridges field troubleshooting with robust embedded design. Not actively seeking opportunities, he nonetheless maintains a track record of shipping resilient, production-grade embedded systems.
