Developed automated manufacturing solutions using A.I. and Machine Learning technology to build electrical components. Current projects include using A.I. Vision technology to build batteries and EECs for Daimler Berlin- Marienfelder. The system utilizes an S7 PLC and Universal Robot to construction the electrical components. Oversaw two projects at Hoppecke Battery (Brilon Germany) using robots to construct batteries in production settings. Aid the customer in realizing the automation solution through design, engineering, programming, planning and on-site support. Also adhering to all customer requests (i.e. cycles times, running efficiency etc. Performed R&D and Proof of Concept for various task before they were implemented into production tasks. Designed and 3D printed custom test parts and robot end-effectors for customers and lab experiments. Produced training material used for customer/ end user training (Training Videos, Presentations and Manuals) Provided online and in person application training for customer specific task Developed steps documentation for project management guidelines for realizing an AI driven Robotic solution. Test product releases on supported robot platforms along with accompanying peripherals Work alongside Infra team to find potential bugs when performing lab evaluations and testing Write bug reports in JIRA based on findings with supporting documentation. Designed standardized processes and protocols to continuously improve operational efficiency through positive iteration. Supported DevOps integration to align software development and engineering efforts. Outlined and programmed routines and parameters for different robotic systems (UR,ABB,Fanuc)

Currently working on an integration project, introducing a new model into and line while optimizing the other car types cycle times, weld quality and overall efficiency. My job entails creating setting up Robot safety zones, configuring peripherals to robot controllers ( grippers, weld guns, Festo Blocks, Nimek end effectors), creating and or testing Tool center points (TCPs), setting software and hard limits when applicable, programming new and verifying pre-existing robot paths and ensuring that zones are set to avoid unsafe operator scenarios or crashes. I have become proficient with Fanuc, Kuku and ABB robots from past experience and formal education. Aside from my knowledge of robotics; I am proficient in PLC programing and debug and oftentimes am called upon during debug and early production to ensure robot and PLC I/O are in synch and communicating properly. I have also been improving skill in RoboGuide, WorkVisual and RobotStudio to utilize offline capabilities of robotic systems. Recently, I just completed I project in which I programmed an ABB in an application for heat treating various substrates with a gas torch end-effector using this offline technology.
