Francisco Betancourt

Embedded Systems Engineer with 12+ years of experience developing production-grade firmware and connected systems across automotive ECUs and large-scale IoT deployments.

Strong background in safety-critical software, low-level debugging, and system integration in real-time environments. Extensive experience with C/C++ firmware, RTOS (FreeRTOS), and automotive communication protocols (CAN, LIN, UDS) on platforms such as NXP S32K and STM32.

Proven track record delivering end-to-end embedded solutions, from hardware bring-up and ECU integration to system validation and production release, working across both firmware and hardware layers.

Deep experience in telematics and connected devices, including TCP/IP-based communication, MQTT, cellular and WiFi connectivity, enabling remote diagnostics, OTA updates, and scalable device deployments in real-world environments.

Experienced in modernizing legacy systems, migrating toolchains, and bridging real-time embedded platforms with Linux-based systems and higher-level software architectures.

Interested in system-level design, robotics, and intelligent embedded systems, including sensor integration and distributed architectures.

Open to US-based opportunities (TN visa eligible) and international roles with relocation support.
