Hi! I'm Scott Otterbacher, an embedded systems engineer with a couple decades of experience bouncing between hardware and software roles. I'm open to either, but my ideal role would let me keep a hand in both. Looking for a leadership role, though open to IC as well.

I love shipping products - taking a concept on a whiteboard and turning it into a physical product in a customer's hands. I have broad market experience: consumer, medical, industrial, defense, space; even wearable electronics for dogs.

Lately, I've been working to incorporate AI tools into my development workflows.

Let's build together!

Remote: Yes

Willing to relocate: No

Technologies: Rust, Solana/Agave, Ethereum, zkVM, C/C++, SQL, Docker, Grafana, Postgres, Polkadot/Substrate, Elixir

Résumé/CV: Available upon request
