Hardik Singh<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hardik believes that entrepreneurship and robotics are two sides of an important equation; entrepreneurship is about identifying problems to solve, and robotics is about creating powerful solutions. As a member of project DAIR, he is excited to be bringing new capabilities to the drone delivery space that will open doors for the deployment of improved and higher quality delivery solutions to many of the time-critical logistics problems facing the world today. <\/pre>\n\n\n\n
In the MRSD program, Hardik is developing deep technical knowledge of robotics with systems engineering practices and building off of his past in robotics research and industry. His experience as Product Manager at HEBI Robotics<\/a> (Pittsburgh, PA) landed him at the center of business development and product engineering, and he hopes to continue learning to work in the space shared by those two disciplines. With this motivation, he is serving as Project Manager and Delivery Subsystem Lead in the Project DAIR team.\n\nIn his free time, Hardik likes to dance, travel to new places, and is a big fan of Liverpool Football Club. He\u2019s always interested in meeting new people and comparing thoughts about anything and everything - feel free to reach out via email or LinkedIn<\/a>!<\/pre>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
