Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolLong Wei is a Principal Firmware Engineer based in Bellevue, Washington, with over two decades of deep experience spanning low-level driver/kernel work to high-level network protocol and application design. He has led architecture and implementation for complex SOCs and storage controllers, driving boot/BSP, RTOS integration, secure RoT/Cerberus platforms, and high-performance firmware for SSD and data accelerator products. At Microsoft and prior roles at Samsung, Emulex and others he combined hands-on bring-up and debugging with team leadership to move products from silicon to production under tight schedules. He is fluent across embedded toolchains, multiple RTOSes, DMA/interrupts, and storage/network protocols (PCIe, NVMe, SAS, iSCSI, TCP/IP), and routinely optimizes for power, performance and reliability. Notably, he pairs decades of firmware craftsmanship with modern security engineering—authoring hierarchical root-of-trust and CPLD security firmware at scale. His background in DSP, laser MEMS control, and tactical simulation reflects a rare cross-domain systems perspective that informs pragmatic, testable designs.
