Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolAvinash Siravuru is a Staff Deep Learning Engineer in San Jose with 11 years of experience building robotics, AI, and control systems for medical and legged-robot applications. He has led robotics and control software for the Ottava general surgery robot at Johnson & Johnson and is currently developing integrated AI-driven capabilities for a new flexible endoscopy platform at Neptune Medical. His background blends rigorous academic research—PhD work at Carnegie Mellon on geometric controllers and learning-based perception for legged locomotion—with hands-on product engineering across startups and industry labs, including internships at DeepMind. Avinash is skilled at translating advanced control theory into robust real-world systems, from bipedal balancing on SO(3) manifolds to multi-arm motion planning in surgical robots. He often bridges the research-to-product gap, delivering differentiating features that combine compliance design, motion planning, and on-device learning. Colleagues would note his uncommon mix of deep theoretical insight and pragmatic system-level engineering across hardware, control, and ML.
