Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolSteven Gann is an embedded systems and hardware engineer with 11 years of experience spanning circuit design, PCB layout, firmware, and manufacturing test for aerospace, data center, and consumer applications. He has driven productization from prototype through qualification and sustainable supply at Microchip, performed failure analysis and validation for NVIDIA data-center hardware, and now applies those skills to manufacturing test at Meta. Proficient in C, C#, and Rust, he pairs low-level firmware and mixed-signal design with an eye for system-level validation and diagnostics. His open-source work includes terrain generation for a city-building simulation, reflecting both a practical engineering mindset and a playful curiosity for procedural systems. Based in California, he brings cross-disciplinary collaboration experience across globally distributed teams and a knack for translating complex hardware behavior into actionable test and support artifacts. Outside of engineering he pursues robotics, SCUBA, martial arts, and cycling, signaling a blend of hands-on tinkering and disciplined focus.
