Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolSandip Kumar is a Senior Team Lead and principal engineer with 11 years of experience building and leading robotics and control software teams at MathWorks. He combines deep academic expertise—a PhD in stochastic motion planning from Texas A&M—with hands-on product and support experience across MATLAB, Simulink, ROS, and code generation for embedded robotic platforms. His work spans sampling-based motion planning under uncertainty, control and estimation, and practical deployment on hardware like Jackal, Husky and Raspberry Pi. At MathWorks he progressed from tier‑2 application support to managing Software Engineers in Test, driving cross-functional process improvements and performance fixes that improved customer outcomes. Earlier automotive experience in suspension design and multibody dynamics gives him a strong systems-level perspective on physical modeling and simulation. Outside work he’s applied that curiosity to hobby robotics (Zumobots, ET Robocon) and camera-based projects, demonstrating a habit of turning research into practical prototypes.
