Iordan Neshev

I'm a Senior Embedded Systems Engineer passionate about creating firmware for automotive, medical, and IoT applications. With deep expertise in C programming and proven experience across bare-metal, FreeRTOS, and emerging Embedded Linux environments. I'm currently developing BSP and OS infrastructure components for automotive systems at Visteon, gaining experience with Yocto Project, U-Boot bootloader, and device driver development. Experience: Delivered production firmware for automotive display clusters (Visteon), cloud-connected security systems (Teletek/Comelit), medical devices (BTL), GPS tracking solutions, and cloud-connected Electronic cash registers. Full-Stack Embedded Expertise: From bootloader development to cloud connectivity via MQTT, I handle the complete firmware stack with proficiency in FreeRTOS, bare-metal programming, and Linux kernel space. Security-First Development: Implemented secure boot, cryptographic modules (SAM, smart cards), 3DES/RSA/SHA algorithms, and OTA update systems for production deployments. 💡 Technical Innovation & Research: ✓ Published 3 papers on embedded systems security and multitasking frameworks ✓ Developed proprietary XSP (Extensible Serial Protocol) adopted across multiple product lines ✓ Erasmus research internship: developing dual-core embedded systems 🔧 Technical Stack: Languages: C (Expert, 18+ years), Python, Assembly (8051, ARM) MCUs/SoCs: STM32x, NXP LPC, i.MX, Cortex-M0/M3/M4/A53, Multicore Sitara AM62P OS/RTOS: Embedded Linux (Yocto, BSP), FreeRTOS, Bare-metal Protocols: MQTT, CAN, I2C, SPI, UART, TCP/IP (LWIP), LoRaWAN, BLE .... Automotive: AUTOSAR, MISRA C, CAN/J1939/OBD-II, Display clusters Tools: Git, GCC, IAR, Keil, SEGGER, Oscilloscopes, Spectrum and Logic analyzers AI: Prompt Engineering Other: RF communication, HAM Radio 🎓 Academic Background: Master's in Electronics Engineering - Technical University of Sofia PhD Studies in Embedded Systems (Research: IoT Security) Erasmus Internship at KHBO Belgium - Dual-core embedded systems development 🌍 International Experience: Bulgarian | English | Italian 🤝 Let's Connect! I'm seeking Embedded Linux development opportunities where I can leverage my deep embedded expertise.
