About Me
SHRAY-us RUNG-uh-NAH-thin
Master’s in Electrical & Computer Engineering | Cornell University 2021
Bachelor’s in Biomedical Engineering | Minor in Biology | Worcester Polytechnic Institute 2015
I’m a hardware-focused electrical engineer with 10+ years’ industry experience in product development. I specialize in R&D at the intersection of biology and electronics, and my work has primarily been in medical devices.
Over my career so far, I’ve led several products through the medical device R&D process. Notably, I was the sole electrical engineer on a neonatal phototherapy device from early prototype all the way through FDA 510(k) Class II clearance and market launch. The bili-hut has since treated 400+ newborns globally, and has been recognized by WHO, USAID, and Fast Company. Other products in my portfolio range from point-of-care diagnostic tools to surgical implants.
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 collaboration across integration, manufacturing, and quality teams.
From time to time, I consult 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 ecosystems* 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 capable of embedded firmware development 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 noodling on the keyboard and guitar.
