Background

About Scott Batzer

I’m a Senior Staff Software Engineer with 12+ years of experience in C and modern C++(14/17/20), developing embedded and application-level software for safety-critical and real-time medical devices. I specialize in ARM-based platforms, FreeRTOS, Zephyr, and Embedded Linux, with a focus on delivering robust solutions for mission critical environments. I lead cross-functional teams, mentoring engineers on multi-threaded design, firmware architecture, system integration, and best practices. I leverage a strong test-driven development focus alongside customer-centric design to emphasize requirement decomposition and Agile workflows, ensuring reliable, testable system delivery. As a software technical lead and cybersecurity lead, I’ve driven compliance with IEC 60601 and IEC 62304 while building CI/CD pipelines, automated testing frameworks, and containerized environments that speed iteration and ensure regulatory alignment. I use FPGA development in Verilog to accelerate hardware-software co-design and early concept validation, enabling rapid prototyping. My experience spans wired (I2C, SPI, UART, USB, CAN, LIN, Ethernet) and wireless (Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, RFID/NFC) protocols, full-stack dashboards (C#/.NET/React/TypeScript), and UI/UX-focused design. I’m eager to apply my expertise in embedded systems, safety-critical design, and cross-domain prototyping to new challenges in medtech, defense, and other high-reliability fields.
