Senior🎓
Top SchoolAlex Toofanian is a Senior Technical Program Manager specializing in autonomous robotics, combining 10 years of engineering and program leadership with a MS in robotics, controls, and machine learning from UC San Diego. He has driven end-to-end development of autonomous mobile robots at Brain Corp and produced research-grade, provably safe control algorithms (HJpatch) that yielded order-of-magnitude performance improvements. Equally comfortable in the lab or the program management room, Alex leads from the front—writing code and designing tests while building company-wide reporting and process frameworks. His background in turbomachinery and hands-on hardware work enables him to bridge complex mechanical, software, and supplier ecosystems and step in as the “fixer” on critical paths. Known for proactive stakeholder advocacy and a culture-first leadership style, he consistently turns rigorous research into production-ready robotics capabilities.
