Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolYannick Serafini is an R&D manager and lead hardware engineer with over 10 years’ experience designing and shipping embedded and IoT products across startups and industrial firms from Switzerland. He combines deep digital hardware expertise with a preference for firmware and real-time systems, having built everything from battery-management systems and high-current protection to embedded Linux devices with Yocto, C, Rust and Go. As head of IoT at Wifx he blends market-driven product roadmaps, certification (CE/FCC) and cost/schedule management with hands-on RF and Linux driver work. Known for versatility, he repeatedly moves between HW design, low-power and EMC-aware architectures, and manufacturing follow-up to accelerate time-to-market. Curious and creative, he favors pragmatic innovation—often automating test benches and adapting open-source stacks—to solve hard integration problems in constrained, hard-to-access deployments.
