      As a Mechanical Engineer for Right hand, I was hired to provide support to the engineering team to build and ship their robotic picking solutions. I assisted in the manufacturing of their latest picking solutions, as well as the assembly of R&D picking solutions. I fabricated parts for a small scale production run. I gained notable machining and welding experience from this position. I worked with the team to set up the robotic picking solutions that were being presented at automation and logistics trade shows across the US. I had the opportunity to design and manufacture a half-dozen specialty wood crates to safely house their picking solutions in shipping. I gained some valuable experience about logistics and trade show presentation during my employment at Right Hand Robotics as well as some deep insight into the world of industrial automation.

      While working for Grove, I was responsible for managing a small-scale manufacturing facility. I worked with the engineering team to successfully run a manufacturing line and safely ship out our products to customers. I managed inventory tracking and was responsible for planning efficient workshop layout, tooling, and manufacturing processes. I was responsible for a large percentage of the in-house fabrication of laser cut, thermoformed, hand crafted parts. I fabricated prototypes for products in development and frequently collaborated with the team for design changes, cost-reduction, and marketing decisions. Show less

      At Hansen auto body, I was expected to be able to handle any job that came our way. I quickly became focused on quality and precision. I've repaired and replaced quarter panels, rear body panels, floor pans, and done generic cosmetic body repairs. I've learned many techniques regarding sheet metal fabrication. I was trained to use a MIG/TIG welder, cutting torch, and plasma cutter. I have done servicing on airbag and SRS modules; replaced blown side curtain airbags, sensors, ecm and seats/seatbelt pre-tensioners. I performed mechanical repairs on suspension, steering, and engine components. I was responsible for disassembling all cars, ordering what was needed for repair, and then repairing the car when the parts were ready. I have worked on a broad spectrum of makes and models. I can do body work, prep work, paint and mechanical repairs. I am a trained PPG aqua base painter and have 2 years experience with solvent. I performed final inspection of most vehicles that left the shop to ensure everything was done correctly. Attention to detail was very important, ensuring that quality and safety were the top priorities. We did everything we could to ensure total customer satisfaction and a safe repair. Show less
