Embedded Linux Engineer at EMAC, inc.
About
I'm Nischal, an Embedded Linux Engineer currently at EMAC, inc. My career has been built at the intersection of low-level firmware and complex system integration, moving from firmware development at Tata Consultancy Services to specializing in Yocto-based Linux distributions and ARM hardware bring-up. I am deeply passionate about the embedded ecosystem, from kernel customization and secure boot mechanisms to IoT connectivity and cloud architecture—supported by my AWS Solutions Architect certification. Currently, I am looking for new professional opportunities where I can apply my expertise in BSP integration and telemetry pipelines. I’m always eager to reconnect with peers to discuss industry trends or share experiences in the embedded space. If you're working on challenging hardware-software integration or IoT scaling, I'd love to connect.
