Christopher White, an embedded software engineer and co-host of Embedded.fm, discusses his 25-year career spanning Cisco, the startup Procket, and medical device companies like Reliant Technologies and Sawtooth. He details his work on multicast routing, OSPF, and custom silicon routers, explaining how high-intensity startup culture led to burnout and a return to academia for a physics master's degree. White also reflects on his transition to consulting, his time at Fitbit, and the importance of finding a work arrangement that fits one's personal needs rather than following a standard corporate path.

Chris Gammell and Dave Jones discuss recent industry layoffs at MakerBot, Microchip, and Intel, highlighting the risks of hardware career stability. They critique the fragility of cloud-dependent IoT products, citing Nest's discontinuation of the Revolve, and advocate for local processing and tools like Pi Shift. The conversation also covers Dave's prototype struggles with firmware constraints and Chris's exploration of machine learning via Wekinator.
Matthew Sanabria, a Solutions Software Engineer at Oxide Computer Company, discusses his transition from HashiCorp and CockroachDB to joining the hardware startup. He details the role's unique blend of software engineering, customer empathy, and technical breadth, specifically focusing on integrating Oxide's rack-scale computers with Kubernetes, Terraform, and other cloud-native tools. Sanabria also shares insights on hiring criteria, debugging complex plugin ecosystems, and the importance of partnership over vendor relationships in the hardware industry.
Jon Oxer, founder of Freetronics and Superhouse, discusses his recent sale of a software company and the subsequent need to seek employment or consulting work due to tax liabilities. He details the challenges of job hunting as a non-traditional engineer, the difficulties of remote work for hardware roles, and the specific engineering constraints of low-volume satellite projects versus high-volume toy manufacturing. The conversation also covers his DIY home automation projects, including retrofitting window motors and reverse-engineering 433 MHz protocols, as well as his interest in drones and autonomous robots.
Chris Gammell of Contextual Electronics and Golioth joins Circuit Break hosts Parker Dillman and Stephen Craig from Macrofab, along with James Lewis of Bald Engineer Media, to discuss engineering career paths. The group shares their diverse backgrounds, from high school electronics kits to semiconductor fabs at Samsung Austin and oil and gas sensor manufacturing. They offer advice on navigating early career stages, emphasizing the importance of surrounding oneself with smart engineers, learning to say no, and adapting to changing industry landscapes like AI and content creation.
Elecia White, founder of Logical Elegance and host of the Making Embedded Systems podcast, discusses her O'Reilly book and her career as an embedded software consultant. She shares insights on bare-metal programming, the pitfalls of using floating-point math in interrupts, and the importance of power optimization in wearable devices like Fitbit. White also reflects on her past work at LeapFrog, the challenges of hiring engineers, and her vision for future haptic feedback technology.
