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 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, towards realizing novel medical technologies.

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 collaboration across integration, manufacturing, and quality 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 noodling on the keyboard and 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.
