Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolKatelyn King is a biomedical and robotics engineer with nine years of hands-on experience applying mechanical design, electronics, and software to surgical and rehabilitation devices. Currently a PhD researcher at Stanford's CHARM Lab, she focuses on medical robotics and haptics with prior projects improving eye-tracking for autonomous OCT exams and building fixtures and data tools for Medtronic and DePuy Synthes. She blends CAD, rapid prototyping, embedded systems (Raspberry Pi), and Python tool development—having shipped GUIs and parsers to streamline medical device testing. Comfortable moving between lab research and regulated product development, she has authored verification protocols, conducted DOE, and produced publishable analyses from sensor and survey data. Based in Palo Alto, she pairs academic rigor with industry pragmatism and a knack for translating clinical needs into prototyped hardware and software. An under-the-radar strength is her experience leading cross-disciplinary teams and stakeholder reviews to drive medically relevant designs from concept to validation.
