Meet Raju Mattikalli

Generative Design and Optimization
Raju Mattikalli Boeing Technical Fellow

I love the interdisciplinary nature of generative design and optimization. It combines principles from math, computer science and engineering — subjects that I grew up loving and developing a strong interest in.  Going to a school like Carnegie Mellon University helped me expand that interest with opportunities to collaborate with professors and researchers from multiple departments, including mechanical, electrical and chemical engineering, computer science and operations research.

I enjoy the variety and technical complexity of the problems I tackle. I also appreciate collaborating with exceptional subject matter experts as I develop mathematical formulations based on their domain knowledge and engineering experience. I take pride in having contributed to technological marvels such as the 787 Dreamliner and the 777X. I find fulfillment in knowing that my work has made a significant contribution to society, helping to bring people and the world closer together.

Being a part of the Boeing Technical Fellowship means I have the opportunity to be a technical leader in one of the most technologically advanced companies in the world. It also comes with responsibility for technical excellence in my field, which I get to share with the people I mentor and collaborate with.

I’m most excited about the vast potential of algorithmic design automation. It’s the opportunity to unleash the creative potential of engineers by removing tedium associated with repetitive and menial tasks. It’s the opportunity to make dramatic cuts in the time and cost of developing new products and to substantially improve quality. And, it’s the opportunity to attract the brightest minds and help Boeing make the best aerospace products in the world.
