Background

About Rajkumar Karthikeyan

I am passionate about developing innovative and sustainable solutions that make technology accessible and impactful for everyone. With a strong foundation in mechanical engineering and hands-on experience in automotive R&D at Bosch, I bring expertise in global product development, cross-functional stakeholder management, and strategic problem-solving. I combine technical knowledge with business-focused thinking and a strong commitment to driving innovations that improve human lives. Currently, I am pursuing a Master of Business and Technology (MBT) at Purdue University, where I am strengthening my technical foundation while complementing it with business acumen and leadership skills - equipping me to drive innovation, deliver impact, and lead effectively in today’s rapidly evolving technology landscape. At Bosch, I managed product engineering and change management for a $7M annual sensor portfolio, led the development of two next-generation temperature sensors, and drove cost-optimization initiatives that improved profitability. I collaborated with global teams to build the business case and assess market potential for an industrial machine health monitoring solution using an engine knocking sensor, successfully setting the stage for further solution development. These experiences strengthened my ability to deliver scalable solutions, collaborate across global teams, and translate complex technical challenges into actionable strategies. I am currently seeking Summer 2026 internships and full-time opportunities in product and project management, business development, technical consulting, or strategy roles, where I can leverage my engineering background and business expertise to lead innovation and create impact. Always open to connect with fellow innovators, problem-solvers, industry leaders and organizations committed to making technology work better for humanity and drive positive change.
