About

Michał Jurek

Embedded Software Engineer with 4+ years in safety-critical automotive ADAS software (ISO 26262, ASIL D, AUTOSAR) and ultra-low-latency 5G Layer 1 baseband development on custom ASIC platforms.

I work in C, C++ and Assembly, but I am comfortable on both sides of the board edge: writing drivers and startup code, designing PCBs, and debugging with a scope or logic analyser when something does not add up.

What I care about is the part after the code compiles: does it survive a cold-start in the lab, a 300 km night drive, or a client's functional-safety audit? That mindset comes from the bottom up — I started in industrial maintenance, repairing control cabinets and programming PLCs, before moving into embedded software.

Off the clock I design and build my own hardware: PCBs, jigs, CNC motion control, and the occasional reverse-engineering project when a piece of lab equipment stops cooperating.

    R&D Embedded Software Engineer

    Ericsson

    • 5G NR Layer 1 (physical layer) baseband software in C and Assembly for radio units, focused on ultra-low-latency signal processing in the data path close to the antenna.
    • Implemented beamforming, gain control and ripple compensation for time-critical pipelines on a proprietary ASIC platform.
    • Delivered accelerator synchronisation that reduced buffer sizes and removed stalls between processing stages, increasing throughput.
    • Migrated legacy hardware functionality to a new ASIC generation and wrote custom Assembly routines for internal accelerator architectures.
    • Verification across simulation and hardware: traffic and signalling configuration, timing and data-integrity analysis.
