Ryan — Controls Engineer

Designed, programmed, lead install team installing conveyor systems and automatic storage and retrieval systems for automotive seating. Modernized the teams approach to the initial development process, saving hundreds of engineering hours and brainpower. Utilized modern approaches to mass-parameterization of devices to minimze downtime and increase development/initial run-off efficiency.

Designed, programmed and lead an install team in manufacturing facilities. We installed automated testing equipment for automotive seating. This includes important safety features such as seatbelts, seatbelt tensioners, airbags, and occupant detection systems. This also includes other mechanical and electrical features such as folding, manual motions, heating/cooling devices, and various modules found within the seat. Communicaitng with these modules was done over CAN or LIN communication and had to be programmed per specific seat/manufacturer requirements. All tests were done with various types of robotics applied, depending on the customer's needs. This includes ABB, Yaskawa, and UR Cobots.

Supported assembly line production, ensuring maximum throughput possible. Worked all shifts, whenever needed. Including overtime and weekends. Implemented continuous improvements to minimize downtime, increase quality, and ensure maximum throughput.

Step 7 Certificiation, taken onsite at Chrylser FCA facility. Certification awarded.
