Chao Zan
Field Application Engineer @ CenoBots
About
I am a technical problem-solver who thrives at the intersection of software engineering and hardware operations. With a degree in Mathematics from the University of Waterloo, I leverage a strong analytical foundation to deploy, optimize, and maintain complex autonomous systems in the field.Currently, as a Field Application Engineer, I specialize in the end-to-end deployment of robotic fleets. My work involves everything from SLAM mapping and AI-driven localization tuning to resolving critical hardware-software integration failures. I am equally comfortable fine-tuning navigation labels in a cloud portal as I am performing electro-mechanical repairs on-site.Beyond the hardware, I have a deep background in Software Development and QA Automation. I’ve engineered e-commerce portals with Angular 17, automated massive regression suites with Selenium, and built scalable customer-facing features in agile environments.I enjoy bridging the gap between engineering teams and end-users, whether that means training regional distributors on technical protocols or collaborating with IT departments to navigate enterprise infrastructure.Core Competencies:Robotics: SLAM Mapping, LiDAR Calibration, Root Cause Analysis (RCA), Fleet Operations.Software: JavaScript/TypeScript, Python, Java, Angular, React, FastAPI, SQL.Networking: Cellular Connectivity, Enterprise Firewall Troubleshooting, OTA Deployment.

Experience

Field Application Engineer
Successfully deployed and commissioned fleet networks of autonomous floor care robots (L3, L4, L50, SP50) across diverse enterprise environments, including healthcare facilities, international airports, universities, and retail chains. Managed end-to-end site localization, utilizing LiDAR and Follow-Me technologies to generate, segment, and optimize high-precision 2D/3D maps, define virtual workstations, and set up automated scheduling. Overcame complex infrastructure constraints, troubleshooting network firewalls and enterprise Wi-Fi restrictions by deploying dedicated cellular configurations to guarantee 100% cloud connectivity via Tars/AWS management platforms. Diagnosed and repaired complex electro-mechanical system failures, resolving issues across ECUs, MCUs, ACUs, depth cameras, LiDAR sensors, brush transmission assemblies, and power management units. Isolated and resolved severe software/firmware anomalies, successfully mitigating critical OTA update stalls, system initialization loops, localization drift caused by high-glare environments, and cloud telemetry mismatches. Performed Root Cause Analysis (RCA) on mechanical components, identifying structural vulnerabilities in legacy chassis/wheels, redesigning reverse-thread fastener implementations, and engineering field modifications to improve water-clearance and suction performance. Developed and delivered comprehensive technical training programs for regional distribution partners and dealer technicians, accelerating third-party maintenance capabilities and deployment velocity. Educated end-user operations teams and hospital/stadium supervisors on daily robotic maintenance, digital app workflows, and back-end cloud fleet management operations. Acted as the key technical liaison between field operations, B2B clients, and international R&D engineering teams; documented product issues, managed warranty parts returns, and consolidated critical client feedback to drive next-generation product roadmaps.
