Vikram Sunder is a robotics-focused software engineer and co-founder with 11 years of experience building perception, planning, and behavior systems that bring automation into real-world life science and healthcare applications. Based in Berkeley, he progressed from early research roles at CMU and internships at Intuitive Surgical and iRobot to leading fleet task planning, mapping, localization, and LiDAR perception as Staff Software Engineer at Third Wave Automation. Now co-founding RoBiome, he blends hands-on SLAM, sensor fusion, and driver development with product-oriented thinking to scale robotic solutions. He’s comfortable moving between research-grade algorithms and production stacks, and his career shows a repeated pattern of turning academic robotics expertise into deployable systems. An often-overlooked strength is his depth in both low-level sensor/driver work and high-level fleet orchestration, enabling end-to-end autonomy delivery.
