Top SchoolAlexander Harris is a software test engineer and MIT graduate in mechanical engineering with a computer science minor, blending controls, robotics, and ML research into practical test engineering. He has hands-on experience automating and improving test rigs and image-processing pipelines for consumer robotics at SharkNinja and now applies those skills at Medtronic. His research work spans reinforcement learning for control, bioresorbable device materials, and 3D-printed housing materials, reflecting a habit of bringing multidisciplinary prototypes to measurable performance targets. Beyond engineering, he has led large volunteer operations and fundraising efforts at Camp Kesem, demonstrating organizational leadership under scale. Comfortable writing Python, MATLAB/Simulink, and embedded Arduino code, he pairs experimental rigor with production-minded automation to close the gap between research and deployed testing.
