My Story
Jorge Mateus earned a Master of Science degree in Electrical and Computer Engineering from Michigan State University, with a concentration in embedded systems architecture and real-time computing. He earned his Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering and Computer Engineering through a dual-major program at the same university. His academic background focused on low-level systems programming, digital signal processing, and microcontroller-based system design.
Throughout his career, Jorge has designed, developed, tested, and optimized embedded firmware across a wide range of applications, including industrial automation, medical devices, research instrumentation, energy systems, robotics, wearables, and IoT platforms. He has deep expertise in bare-metal and RTOS-based firmware (including FreeRTOS), board support packages, communication stacks, and power management for ARM Cortex, TI MSP430, and Microchip dsPIC architectures. His work emphasizes deterministic real-time control, low-power optimization, signal processing, secure communications, and long-term reliability in demanding environments. He is also experienced in hardware-software integration, PCB design, hardware debugging, circuit design, and system validation.
As Electrical/Firmware Advisor for Bactronic, Jorge provides technical guidance on the electrical characterization of the sensing material, including measurement of conductivity, impedance, dielectric properties, and EMI-related performance using controlled and repeatable test methodologies. He supports defining appropriate test setups and fixtures to ensure accurate translation of intrinsic material properties into quantifiable electrical signals. He also contributes to the design and validation of prototype electronics, including PCB development, signal conditioning, and firmware for data acquisition and sensor interfacing. In addition, he assists with system-level architecture decisions, packaging considerations, and the exploration of potential applications to improve sensor performance and guide early-stage product development.
