Simplified testing procedure for new and legacy gearboxes by 1) developing custom Python software, mechanical, and electrical systems, and 2) retained easy operation, and measurement and drive flexibility.Lead design and manufacturing of mechanical robotic sorting station structure. Responsibilities included design of mechanical components, communicating with vendors, cable routing, and travelled to the Mexico plant to coordinate and manage the transition to full-scale manufacturing.Utilized DFM and DFA principles to design a custom integrated electromechanical wheel drive by incorporating a motor, transmission, feedback, and brake into a compact assembly.Performed research to create acceptance criteria based on housing vibrations of gearboxes to detect assembly and manufacturing faults, in an effort to reduce premature failures.
