Summary
Aaron Selfridge is a firmware engineer with a PhD in biomedical engineering and about a decade of experience designing and shipping complex imaging and embedded systems. His background spans mechanical gantry and PCB design, high-speed analog electronics, FPGA and microcontroller firmware, and data acquisition/reconstruction software—skills he applied to PET/MRI research, clinical molecular imaging, and now wireless MAC firmware for Amazon Kuiper. He moves effortlessly between academic research and production engineering, having taken a PET/MRI scanner from concept to integration and then transitioned to commercial medical imaging systems. Based in San Diego, he combines deep hardware expertise with firmware-first thinking and a proven ability to deliver cross-disciplinary systems under real-world constraints. An unexpected throughline in his career is that his biomedical projects were often driven more by electronics and firmware innovation than by biology, which gives him a distinctive systems-level perspective.
