Summary
Shakeel Rajwani is a Director of Software and Controls with 8 years of focused experience architecting control systems, analytics, AI, and IIoT for energy, chemical, and advanced manufacturing environments. He has led end-to-end delivery—from FEED and hardware/network design through software, commissioning, and optimization—on projects ranging from equipment prototypes to billion-dollar production facilities. His background blends hands-on control engineering at ABB and Devon with leadership roles at AeroFarms, Rivian, 24M, and now Fourth Power, giving him rare expertise at the intersection of process engineering and digital transformation. He builds practical ML and soft-sensor solutions (e.g., emulsion and water-cut models) that moved from POC to commercialization and has driven digital business development for novel sensing and analytics use cases. Based in Cambridge, MA, he pairs an MIT systems design management MS with deep field commissioning experience, which helps him translate rigorous theory into reliable industrial deployments.
