Ashish Raste is a hands-on engineering leader with 13 years’ experience designing and delivering autonomy, navigation, and embedded software for marine and industrial robotics. Currently the Localization Technical Lead at Hexagon’s Autonomy & Positioning division, he has led autonomy stacks and teams for long-endurance AUVs, multi-robot warehouse systems, and mine-site ADAS, blending research rigour with product delivery. He is fluent across C/C++, Python and Rust, with deep experience in ROS, embedded Linux, simulation-in-the-loop testing, and cloud-integrated command-and-control systems. Ashish has repeatedly translated prototypes into fielded systems—shipping commercial AUVs and IIoT platforms that met operational safety and remote-deployment constraints. Known for building and mentoring multidisciplinary teams, he pairs technical roadmaps with pragmatic risk mitigation to meet offshore and remote operational needs. Based in Perth with an academic foundation from NUS and practical nanodegree training in autonomous driving, he brings both academic depth and production chops to GNSS-denied localization challenges.
