About Willem Boshoff

I am a passionate, dedicated and highly experienced robotics engineer with over 7 years of professional warehouse automation experience and over a decade of experience in the field of robotics, and its sub disciplines. I am a hands-on leader that enables others and thrives to succeed both independently and when working within a team. In 2017 I graduated from the University of the West of England in Bristol with a first-class honour’s degree in Product Design Technology. Design, technology and robotics are my life passions. Projects which integrate design, manufacturing, electronics, mechanics, and computation into forms, ranging through from industrial to artistic, are the core of my personal research and professional endeavours.Throughout a decade of client driven work with a range of blue-chip enterprises (such as Amazon Robotics, Honda, Nissan, Proctor & Gamble and others), I have cultivated a highly pragmatic approach to conception, development and execution of projects of broad scope and complexity. In areas including: robotics, warehouse automation, and electromechanical & software engineering.I am an avid practitioner of additive manufacturing, parametric and generative deign, art and sustainable human centred product design. To see a few of my personal projects which I enjoy in my downtime, please check out my blog: http://willlemhboshoff.wordpress.com/ Over my recent 6 year journey with Amazon Robotics I have played a crucial role alongside an incredible team, introducing over 30 000 mobile robots and automation technologies into the Amazon fulfilment network. Orchestrating the deployment of hundreds of millions of pounds worth of robotic infrastructure at over a dozen new warehouses primarily around the UK/EU. Each site has presented its own unique challenges across a variety of circumstances, which have been overcome through a high standard of practical teamwork, determination, leadership skills and stakeholder management.
