Robotics engineer with 7 years designing and commissioning industrial robot cells, currently a senior robotics engineer at a systems integrator serving automotive and packaging manufacturers. Has delivered 46 robot cells with 130 robots, cut average cell commissioning time from 6 weeks to 3.5, and designed a vision-guided picking cell that runs at 99.6% pick accuracy. Designs cells that are safe, fast, and easy for plant technicians to maintain.
Coursework in Robot Kinematics, Control Systems, Machine Design, and Mechatronics.
Also holds a certificate in robot safety standards (ANSI/RIA R15.06 and ISO 10218).
- Led design and commissioning of 24 robot cells with 70 robots since 2022 for automotive and packaging customers.
- Cut average cell commissioning time from 6 weeks to 3.5 by moving 70% of testing into simulation.
- Designed a vision-guided bin picking cell that runs at 99.6% pick accuracy across 2 shifts.
- Programmed and commissioned 22 welding and material handling cells with 60 robots for 5 customers.
- Raised output on a spot welding line 18% by rebalancing paths across 8 robots.
- Designed 14 end-of-arm tools, cutting tool changeover time on 1 cell from 20 minutes to 4.
- Built 6 robot cell simulations in ROBOGUIDE to check reach and cycle time before quoting.
- Designed 4 fixtures in SolidWorks that went into production cells after review.
- Supported 3 site commissioning jobs and wrote the operator manual for 1 cell.
Vision-Guided Bin Picking Cell. Designed a cell pairing a FANUC robot with 3D vision and a custom vacuum gripper to pick 14 part types from bins for an auto parts supplier, which replaced 4 manual stations per shift, runs at 99.6% pick accuracy, and paid back in 16 months.
Simulation-First Commissioning. Built full virtual commissioning of robot paths and PLC logic before shipping, catching an average of 25 issues per cell early, which cut site commissioning time from 6 weeks to 3.5 and reduced engineer travel costs by about 40%.
Palletising Cell Standard. Designed a standard palletising cell with a configurable pattern library and a simple HMI, sold to 9 packaging customers, which cut engineering hours per cell by about 50%.
- Mentor for a high school robotics team of 30 students, 4 hours a week in competition season.
- Member of an automation industry association, presenting on virtual commissioning in 2025.
- Build small hobby robot arms and share designs with about 2,000 followers online.
- Lead project teams of 3 to 5 engineers and technicians on robot cell builds.
- Trained about 80 customer technicians on robot operation and maintenance since 2022.
- Mentor 2 junior robotics engineers on simulation and commissioning practice.
