Top SchoolEmanuele Ruffaldi is a Director of Software Engineering with 14 years of experience who transitioned from an academic career in perceptual robotics, haptics and VR to leading software for surgical robotics at Medical MicroInstruments. He combines deep research credentials (PhD in Perceptual Robotics) and academic leadership with hands-on delivery of certified medical device software, shaping architecture, risk analysis and system workflows for the Symani surgical platform. He has led cross-functional teams through commercialization, from prototyping hardware-software feasibility studies to managing IEC 62304/62366 certification and market releases.
