**Developed a Testing Process for Vibronic Level Sensors (FTL5x)** During my master's thesis at Endress+Hauser SE+Co. KG, I developed a semi-automated testing process for vibronic level sensors. This involved analyzing vibration signals using a Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) algorithm to assess sensor performance. I handled the assembly of the test setup and worked on mechanical processes like riveting and welding, ensuring everything met the right specifications. I also calibrated acceleration sensors for MEMS actuation and analyzed data using Apache Superset, which helped improve our testing methods. Additionally, I integrated HMI and WinCC for real-time monitoring and control within a SCADA framework. Through this project, I gained hands-on experience in sensor assembly and developed valuable skills to contribute to sensor technology development.

During my internship at Endress+Hauser, I optimized testing protocols for Vibronic Level Sensors by integrating advanced vibration analysis and automation through basic Python scripting, which enhanced accuracy and reduced manual errors. I developed a Python-based user interface for controlling test setups and automating data saving. Utilizing CREO for CAD design, I created test assemblies and used LabVIEW to automate measurement instruments. I also implemented WinCC and HMI for real-time monitoring and control of test processes within a SCADA framework. By applying the Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) algorithm, I analyzed sensor performance against oscilloscope data to detect defects. Additionally, I contributed to initiatives aimed at reducing costs, enhancing yield, and improving product quality.
