About Mike Yocum
I am a Staff Architect specializing in Automotive Networking, with a passion for designing distributed real-time systems that leverage Ethernet and Time-Sensitive Networking (TSN) as their backbone. My career journey began in IT, where I progressed from help desk technician to global engineering roles, before transitioning into product engineering, where I now focus on deterministic, highly available, real-time systems.In my current role, I drive innovation in emerging architectures, balancing technical strategy and business needs to shape the future of automotive networking. I thrive on decomposing complex networking challenges into structured, solvable components, ensuring cost-effective, high-performance solutions for modern vehicle architectures.I believe that medium-speed and low-speed Ethernet systems with TSN are key to balancing cost and performance across all vehicle platforms. As the industry moves toward software-defined architectures, I am constantly working to understand the moving pieces and put the puzzle together—aligning technology, scalability, and long-term strategy.At my core, I am a strategic thinker who believes in doing the right things for the right reasons. I’m always open to connecting with professionals who share a vision for the future of automotive networking, TSN, and real-time distributed systems.
