Background

About Sanjay Rajagopal

As a Mechatronics graduate from Kongu Engineering College, I’ve always been driven by curiosity and a hands-on approach to solving real-world engineering problems. With a strong academic foundation in automation, control systems, and embedded programming, I’ve contributed to award-winning projects and patentable innovations that connect mechanical systems with smart, scalable software. With 5+ years of professional experience in the industrial tech sector, I’ve led and delivered high-impact automation and robotics projects across global manufacturing environments. At Siemens, I enhanced HMI performance and PLC functionality for advanced powertrain systems using technologies like WinCC Unified, TIA Portal, and JavaScript, while driving test automation to reduce manual QA cycles by 90%. At Motherson Automotive, I built and deployed robotic solutions using SCARA, Delta, and Cartesian systems, implementing real-time machine vision and multi-controller communication with EtherCAT, OPC UA, and Codesys (IEC 61131-3). I bring a track record of cross-functional collaboration, process optimization, and delivering resilient software solutions that improve system uptime, throughput, and maintainability. I’ve worked across the full development lifecycle—from architecture and coding to testing and commissioning—focusing on performance, modularity, and long-term scalability. Looking ahead, I’m excited to work on cutting-edge challenges at the intersection of robotics, automation, and intelligent control systems. I aim to contribute to digital transformation efforts in smart manufacturing, especially those involving Industrial IoT, Edge Computing, and AI-integrated robotics that enable data-driven decisions and autonomous execution on the factory floor.
