About Me
Robotics engineer with experience in both research and automotive launch projects. Have certifications in FANUC programming and Roboguide simulation software to accompany onsite experience. Received an excellent education through Lake Superior State University in Mechanical Engineering with a focus in Robotics. Work experience includes research projects at the GM Tech Center and the Model 3 launch at Tesla. Performed research trials of different types of joining with FANUC industrial robots. This included different types of welding and SPR joining, which provided a lot of experience in both areas. On the launch, experience included commissioning robots and end effector tooling along with programming both FANUC and KUKA robots for sealer applications
