Felix Naveen S.

Engineer-turned-executive with a passion for solving complex technical and business challenges. I build and scale high-performing teams that deliver innovative products, drive customer success, and create measurable impact. At Cyngn, I serve on the Executive Leadership team, reporting to the CEO and leading Engineering Services — spanning QA Engineering, Customer Success/Robotics Technical Operations, and Program Management Services. My focus is steering commercialization and successful deployment of our autonomous robotics products. Previously at Brain Corporation, I served as Vice President, overseeing QA Engineering, Robotics, and Cloud Technical Operations. I scaled global operations and led teams that managed tens of thousands of robots, delivering millions of autonomous hours across diverse, ROI-generating applications. Earlier, as Global Senior Engineering Director at Qualcomm, I drove testing, automation development, and commercialization support for Multimedia Technologies, IoT, and Automotive Infotainment across North America, Europe, India, and China. I am recognized for flawless execution, a data-driven mindset, and resourceful leadership — blending hands-on involvement with leading large multi-site teams. My leadership is anchored in emotional intelligence, stamina, and the ability to align strategy with execution and impact. I am also an avid hiker and adventurer. From completing the 800 km Camino across Spain to climbing Kilimanjaro and trekking the Inca Trail, I carry the same spirit of resilience, curiosity, and the drive to explore and act on ideas that enrich lives into my leadership.
