Urbandale, Iowa, United States

As a Validation Engineering Intern, worked directly with farmers to understand how well the current tech stack met the needs of the farmer's business. This tech stack included the implementation of a new vision system that is used to automate combine operation.Worked across multiple teams to better understand how the system works, how to install the system, and methods of gauging a users experience. Worked to develop a validation plan that incorporated different kinds of user feedback along with logged data. Executed the validation plan by visiting customer farms, installing the vision system, collecting and analyzing the feedback and data.Assisted product verification and validation (PV&V) with implementing a new data logger system. One big push was to achieve time-stamped video that is synced with the machines CAN data.
