Two Automotive Engineers Spent 10 Years in Racing Before Building AI That Replaces Test Engineers

The Corporate Exit

Girish Radhakrishnan and Bruno Finco didn't come from Google or Meta. They came from racetracks and test labs. Both spent 10 years as forward-deployed engineers in automotive - working with racing teams, OEMs, and hardware companies where sensor data is life and death.

They worked together for 8 years at the same automotive consulting firm. Every day, they watched test engineers spend hours manually analyzing telemetry, sensor logs, and test results. The data was massive. The tools were spreadsheets. The bottleneck was always human capacity.

They built MOVEdot to break that bottleneck.

What MOVEdot Actually Does

MOVEdot builds AI agents for sensor data analysis. Think of it as a Cursor-like interface where humans and AI agents collaborate on multi-modal data - video, telemetry, test standards, sensor logs. The agents connect to data sources, answer engineering questions, generate reports, and produce interactive dashboards.

Engineering teams process 100x more data. Performance goes up. Time to market goes down.

Why Test Engineers Should Pay Attention

Physical-world testing is a $250B market across development, durability, and validation. Every car, every rocket, every battery, every robot generates massive sensor data that needs expert analysis.

MOVEdot started in motorsports because the sales cycles are short and the stakes are immediate. They closed their first $30K deal within 2 weeks of a proof-of-concept. They became the official AI partner of HMD Motorsports in the INDY NXT series. Now they're expanding into manufacturing with companies like Tractian (YC W21).

Two engineers who spent a decade in the trenches of automotive testing didn't read about the problem in a pitch deck. They lived it for 10 years. That domain expertise is the moat that no amount of compute can replicate.

The Breakout Pattern

This is the purest AutoBreakout story: domain experts who spent years watching an industry run on manual labor, then built the AI to automate it. Not Silicon Valley tourists parachuting into an industry they don't understand. Engineers from the inside.

That's the breakout.
