 Design owner of the company’s repertoire of bespoke, novel end-of-arm mechanismsfor food manipulation. Main inventorship of the patents for these inventions (both utilityand design patents). Conception to manufacturing of these designs, from 3D design conceptualization, toiterating with in-house 3d printed prototypes, and finally to organizing with overseasvendors for high-volume large-scale manufacturing. Each robotic system shipped tocustomers requires multiple sets of these custom-designed components. Designed and productionized other mechanical aspects of the robot system, such assafety panels with electronic interlocks, swappable sensor mounting HW, fiducials forrobot calibration, pneumatic systems for the end effector, etc, in compliance with strictFDA and NSF food-safety standards. Oversaw the robotic module’s electrical sub-system, from part specc-ing to supplychain sourcing and final assembly. Wrote the firmwares for sensors, actuators, microcontrollers used in the system,created the ROS nodes for these devices to interface with the rest of the stack(Python, C++, CAN encapsulated Modbus). Managed PLM/PDM systems for part tracking and inventory management
