Hi, I'm Ritika Goel. ⚙️
Technical Leader in Embedded Systems & Machine Learning
With over 15 years of experience , I specialize in establishing systems architecture and leading high-impact ML integration for resource-constrained consumer electronics. My career is defined by driving end-to-end product lifecycles - from scaling custom RTOS firmware for Apple's AirPods and Airpods Max lineup to delivering gesture inference improvements for millions of users on Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses.
Currently based in Orange County, my work exists at the intersection of hardware development and engineering automation. Over the last two years, I have deeply integrated agentic AI into my daily operations, authoring detailed engineering plans to direct multiple simultaneous agents in autonomous code generation.
In my personal lab, I am exploring new device architectures and am currently prototyping screen-free, tactile toys that rely on physical mechanics and audio rather than digital displays - the perfect project as I intentionally step away from the screens this summer to soak up quality time with my daughter..
