About

My name is Yair Gadelov. I am an Embedded Systems and Linux BSP Engineer with deep hands-on experience building end-to-end embedded platforms, real-time systems, and high-performance data pipelines.
I hold an MSc in Electrical Engineering from Ben-Gurion University and have worked for more than 15 years across embedded software, algorithms, system architecture, and hardware integration.

My work spans multiple domains including Linux BSP (Yocto), real-time firmware, sensor fusion, camera/radar systems, and board bring-up on ARM and FPGA-based platforms.
I have led the development of complex embedded products—from prototype to production—in medical devices, 3D printing, radar/vision systems, and high-speed data acquisition pipelines.
