Priyank Rathod is a highly skilled and accomplished professional in embedded software
engineering and technical leadership, currently serving as a Tech Lead at Intel since June 2021.
With a strong foundation in languages such as C, C++, Java, and Python, Priyank has made
significant contributions to the development and validation of security and legal compliance
efforts, particularly in the release of the HSIO margining tool for USB4, PCIe, and DP2.1 for
OEM/ODM. His expertise is driving necessary changes in the Linux Upstream Kernel and
Windows OS to support the HSIO margining tool and developing modules for Intel's IPF
Framework to facilitate communication with remote devices using JSON and XML payloads.
The HSIO margining tool, under Priyank's leadership, plays a crucial role in R&D, electrical
validation, and high-volume manufacturing stages for validating I/O throughput for silicon.
Before joining Intel, Priyank held the position of Senior Embedded Software Engineer at
MagicLeap, where he was a lead contributor to the UEFI, bootloader, and GPT for MagicLeap-2
and played a vital role in the bring-up of custom SoCs and embedded controllers. His
contributions include driver development for MagicLeap platforms and leading OTA
development and test automation. Priyank's tenure at Verifone Inc. and Intrinsyc Software USA
further solidified his expertise in low-level driver implementation, debugging, optimization, and
support for various certifications.
Priyank's academic background is equally impressive. He holds an M.S. in Computer
Engineering from California State University, Fullerton, with a cumulative GPA of 3.97/4.00, a
PGDC in Cyber Security and Forensics from Gujarat Forensic Science University, and a B.E. in
Elect. & Comm. from Gujarat University, India. His projects and publications span clever reader
design, stepper motor controllers, digital water level recorders, bio-medical signal-based
emotion detection devices, and medical alert systems, showcasing his versatility and innovative
approach to solving complex problems.
Priyank Rathod's career is a testament to his dedication, technical prowess, and leadership in
embedded software engineering and technology development.
