• Led the assembly and calibration of 3-DoF force sensors, including the development of input-force mapping algorithm and cross-talk compensation.
• Developed process for ingress protection (IPX8) of small-batch prototype PCBs.
• Created modular test fixture for applying standard loads to small sensing bodies.
• Reduced calibration time for end-of-arm weight sensor from 1.5 to 0.25hrs, designingprocedure for mapping strain to forces and moments using UR 16e arm and ROS.
• Led development of a 6-DoF force-moment sensor for early stage proposal to aerospace contractor.
• Used cloud based finite element software to automate narrowing possible design options for sensing structures, significantly reducing the human input required.

Remote

• Implemented an automated test, build, and deployment pipeline using Gitlab CI, reducing time to production by ~65%.
• Moved system to cloud architecture using Google’s App Engine and Firebase Hosting.
• Reduced size of codebase by 30% without affecting functionality.
• Received “Outstanding” co-op rating.

Remote

• Developed a small mobile robotics platform, based on the Robot Operating System.
• Implemented autonomous movement, creating a PID-based control system using feedback from a LiDAR module.
• Used tensorflow to create a licence plate recognition application on the Jetson Nano.

Toronto, Canada Area

• Coordination with management and engineering to select appropriate standards (ASTM, MIL, ISO) to comply with EU RoHS and REACH.
