About Saravanan Rajendran

I build engineering systems designed to operate in confined, submerged, and harsh industrial environments.My work sits at the intersection of robotics, ultrasonics, and functional materials — translating laboratory research into deployable infrastructure technologies.At Greenbotz, I lead the architecture and development of miniaturized pipeline intervention platforms and advanced surface-engineered solutions for non-destructive maintenance.Core Domains• Sub-100 mm robotic systems for pipeline environments• 28 kHz ultrasonic cavitation remediation• Hybrid jet-spray + sonication cleaning architectures• Waterproof, electrically insulated mechatronic assemblies• Functional nanocoatings (hydrophilic, superhydrophobic, oleophobic, corrosion-resistant)• TiO₂ and silane-based surface engineeringI specialize in structured translational engineering:Concept → Subsystem Decomposition → Prototype → Experimental Validation → Iterative Optimization → Deployment ReadinessBeyond technical execution, I design:• R&D phase control frameworks• Technical feasibility and risk models• Cross-functional integration pipelines• Market-aligned MVP architectures• System-level documentation for scaleMy objective is simple: build technologies that survive outside the lab — in real infrastructure conditions.

Experience

1. Nanotech Chief Engineer

   Greenbotz Platform Private Limited

   Jan 2024 — Present · Coimbatore, IN

   Leading end-to-end development of interdisciplinary engineering solutions at the intersection of nanomaterials, robotics, and embedded systems. I drive cross-functional coordination across R&D, mechanical design, and advanced coatings, with a focus on real-world problem-solving and scalable innovation. Designed and prototyped a pipeline-crawling robot for ≤100 mm pipelines, integrating motion, jet-spray, and ultrasonic cleaning systems. Developed waterproofing solutions for DC motors and embedded modules used in submerged robotic systems. Engineered functional coatings via spray, dip, and ultrasonic coating techniques — achieving hydrophilic, superhydrophobic, UV-resistant, oil-repellent, anti-glare, and thermal emissive surfaces. Managed cross-functional R&D teams across mechanical, electrical, and nanotech domains for end-to-end system integration. Led experimental design, surface characterization, and prototype fabrication while mentoring junior researchers. Conducted market and technology gap analysis to convert off-the-shelf components into customized, high-performance in-house solutions. Guided research article and patent documentation under the organization’s innovation portfolio.Key focus areas:• Translational research in functional nanocoatings• Integration of mechatronics and material science• Project planning, prototyping, and system-level optimization• Cross-domain team leadership and technical documentationPassionate about building impactful, cross-disciplinary technologies that bridge lab-scale innovation with field-ready deployment.
