Summary
Sudarshan Raghunathan is a software manager with nine years of experience specializing in surgical robotics, mechatronics, and end-to-end product development. With a Master’s in Robotics from the University of Maryland and hands-on roots in hardware, CAD, sensor integration, and control systems, he bridges firmware, Linux robotic platforms, and higher-level Web/Windows application layers. He has led cross-functional teams and offshore developers to deliver next-generation orthopedic robotic solutions, collaborating directly with surgeons to translate clinical needs into tested products. Known for a jack-of-all-trades mentality, he moves comfortably between perception (ROS, OpenCV), real-time device interfaces, and UI/UX for surgical workflows. Rare among managers, he has deep practical experience building experimental surgical platforms and stereo-vision tracking systems, which informs his pragmatic approach to product and team leadership.
