Lead AGV assembly projects for customers spanning numerous industries (Auto, Healthcare, Food / Beverage, Warehousing & Distribution, Manufacturing, etc.). Manage assembly of complex electrical, mechanical, and hydraulic systems. Edit / correct documentation for the engineering team.+ Offered a full-time placement and promotion to Technician Lead in 2017 after initial contract period, recognition for workmanship, experience, and ability to personally handle the entire build life cycle.+ Managed a major project for a Material handling equipment supplier. Delivered the 28-vehicle order with new roller conveyor design 2-weeks ahead of schedule, resulting in the project coming in significantly under budget.+ Increased quality by influencing the team to ensure all wire/cable runs are uniform and parallel to adjacent cables with no cross overs – a minor shift that has created a greater sense of pride in AGV assembly and concern for quality.+ Identified an issue while assembling AGVs for a major order – a conveyor chain drive system with an interference fit with frame. Created a solution that enabled the team to create additional clearance and move the project forward.
