SHRAY-us RUNG-uh-NAH-thin

I’m a hardware-focused electrical engineer with 8+ years’ industry experience in product development. My work has mostly been in medical devices, and I specialize in R&D at the intersection of biology and electronics. My ultimate goal is to innovate at very center of this intersection, drawing equally upon first-principles electrical and biological.

Over my career so far, I’ve led several products through the medical device R&D process: proof-of-concept → risk analyses & requirements → iterative prototyping & testing → usability & clinical studies → manufacturing & launch. These products range from point-of-care diagnostic tools to inpatient therapy devices.

Currently I work at Siemens Healthineers, developing a surgical robotics platform for endovascular stroke treatment. Specifically, I lead electronic product development on a subsystem of the robot. My role emphasizes technical design as well as cross-functional work across quality and regulatory teams.

In my own time, I consult independently for startups and university labs in electronic product development. I enjoy working with both because I’ve been in their shoes; I began my career at an early-stage startup, and was a graduate researcher in the Engaged IoT Lab at Cornell. Additionally, I’ve been part of various startup communities* throughout my career, and continue to stay involved: I am a Mentor at MassChallenge and have been a guest speaker at Rev: Ithaca & Startup Boston.

My core skillset lies in hardware, with some proficiency in firmware. I am well-versed in analog/digital circuit design and board layout, especially within the contexts of high reliability and electromagnetic compatibility (EMC). I am also competent in microcontroller code design using C/C++, Python, and assembly language.

Outside of work, you’ll find me at one of the myriad startup events here in Boston, or running along the Charles. I also enjoy struggling to play flamenco guitar.

Highlights:

  • Mentor at MassChallenge: Early-Stage Accelerator 2023 & 2024, Healthcare Accelerator 2024

  • Panelist at Startup Boston Week 2024: From Prototype to Prime Time

  • Head Teaching Assistant of ECE5725: Design with Embedded Operating Systems at Cornell University 2021

  • Led electrical engineering on bili-hut, an FDA-cleared neonatal phototherapy device that has since treated 400+ newborns globally. Bili-hut has been recognized by WHO, USAID, and Fast Company.
