Summary
Weiqian Xu is an embedded software engineer with nine years of experience building firmware and edge systems across consumer, telecom, and driverless-vehicle domains. Currently at Meta working on VROS, he previously led low-power WiFi firmware efforts for WiFi 6/7 at Qualcomm and accelerated embedded vision and gesture recognition at Baidu USA using Arm NEON optimizations. Proficient in C/C++ with practical experience in Python, Embedded Linux, FreeRTOS and common interfaces (I2C, SPI, UART, BLE), he bridges low-level device drivers to neural-network based edge inference. Comfortable with hardware bring-up and debug—oscilloscopes, function generators and circuit prototyping—he combines electrical engineering training from UCLA with hands-on firmware delivery. Based in the San Francisco Bay Area and passionate about IoT, he focuses on reducing latency and power while shipping robust, production-ready embedded systems.
