Summary
Ronak Roy is a robotics hardware research engineer with a decade of experience designing, fabricating, and validating electromechanical systems for high-performance robots and power electronics. Trained at MIT with a double SB in Mechanical and Electrical Engineering and an SM in Mechanical Engineering, he has led hands-on projects from a self-built high-precision dynamometer and atomically precise AFM rotation stages to production-focused power conversion hardware at Tesla. At MIT’s biomimetics lab he combined SolidWorks design, machine-shop fabrication, FPGA and low-level current-control development to push actuator bandwidth and torque accuracy for humanoids and quadrupeds. He also brings experience scaling prototypes into manufacturable assemblies and automation strategies from internships at Apple, Eli Lilly, and Tesla, and a history of integrating controls, sensors, and embedded systems across research stacks. Notably, he bridges deep experimental measurement work with pragmatic product transition skills—equally comfortable writing controller firmware as cutting parts on a mill.
