Work Experience

1. R&D Engineer at Nordic Semiconductor

   Jul/2026 — Present

   Nordic Semiconductor is a global leader in low power wireless connectivity solutions, providing the essential platform and wireless technologies that connect the world’s IoT devices. Nordic delivers world-class hardware, embedded software, development tools, power management, world-class support, and cloud lifecycle services - all simplifying development for developers to build reliable, scalable, and future-proof connected products faster.

   Highlights

   • Design, implement, and debug automated BLE system tests in CTF (Common Test Framework), a pytest-based stack for multi-board lab verification.
   • Own and extend centralized test and lab configuration, defining target-device and test-rig pairings and platform matrices for regression and release qualification.
   • Develop and maintain Jenkins declarative pipelines for large BLE system-test jobs, including staged builds, filters, and multi-SDK manifest workflows.
   • Drive platform migration as legacy short-range parts leave mainline: retarget radio and related verification suites to nRF54 Series and nRF53 peers while keeping CI schedulable.
   • Port and debug Zephyr test applications for radio timing validation, board overlays, Kconfig, devicetree, and embedded C using RADIO, timers, and cross-domain event routing on newer SoCs.
   • Triage CI and hardware lab failures (build, flash, link, runtime assertions) and iterate fixes until pipelines and on-rig smoke tests pass.
   • Integrate PPK2-based (Power Profiler Kit) target power measurement into the CTF harness: flash measurement firmware before sampling, restore release firmware afterward, and wire configuration through board abstraction layers.
   • Implement USB DFU (Device Firmware Upgrade) programming flows for bench equipment firmware using standard Nordic command-line tooling and environment-driven artifact paths.
   • Refactor verification Python modules for PPK2 board control, serial port selection, and clearer harness integration for power tests.
   • Contribute to sdk-nrf within team-owned scope: remove deprecated board targets from Twister and sample metadata for BLE samples exercised in automated BLE sample verification.
   • Update changelog and release-note entries so sample and platform removals are documented for downstream developers.
   • Coordinate west manifest and revision-lock behavior so CI can pin SDK snapshots for new chip families without breaking default manifest jobs.
   • Split and scope CI stages by SDK manifest so host-power and similar suites run against the correct platform filters and toolchains.
   • Build ppk_fw_version, a Rust CLI that reads PPK2 firmware version over USB/serial, with structured CLI parsing, shell completions, and colored user output.
   • Collaborate with firmware, radio, and doc stakeholders on sample ownership boundaries and verification coverage when retiring older hardware from build and test matrices.

2. Senior Software Engineer at GlobalLogic Poland
