PrimeAir’s mission is to deliver packages to customers within 30 minutes from click to delivery. ● Created and patented a system of operation leveraging robotic technology to rapidly turnaround drones between missions, analyze aircraft parameters and offer a scalable solution to keep associates safe. ● Led all hardware aspects of designing, procuring, assembling and testing a ‘proof-of-concept’ robotic work cell to demonstrate robotic grasping, measurement and placement of PrimeAir drones. ● Designed and tested a robotic end effector to grasp, measure and place the PrimeAir drone using a 6-DOF Force/Torque sensor to monitor the forces and torques enacted on the drone to ensure structural integrity. ● Estimated 90% reduction in time to measure physical attributes such as Weight, Center of Gravity and Moment of inertia while providing a more consistent platform over manual testing.

Specializing in the rapid design, analysis & development of robotics and automation technologies for fulfilling Amazon orders. ● Lead engineer responsible for all aspects of implementing complex mechatronic automation technologies into the existing Amazon fulfillment network to reduce labor costs and increase total building output. ● Responsible for all product categories including feature development roadmap (hardware, controls and software), process design, WMS/system integration, training material, financial analysis, safety compliance etc. ● Perform FMEA to expose and root cause gaps in process efficiency & machine uptime to increase OEE. ● Directed international vendor relationship for design & development of mechatronic packaging solution.

● Invent warehouse associate workstations that promote ergonomics, quality and rates while ensuring safe human/robot interactions conforming to international safety standards. ● Design, prototype and analyze mobile storage containers called "Pods" leveraging volume manufacturing techniques, considering materials such as textiles, plastics, metals, and corrugate focused on rapid assembly and low overall cost. ● Collaborate with cross-functional teams such as solution designers, software development, supply chain, deployment engineering and on-site operations leaders.

● Redesign, prototype, and test machine systems to process a growing range of minerals. ● Manage a production team and project schedule over a 12-month build cycle. ● Lead the field service support on mechanical systems for domestic and international locations. ● Responsible for conversion of legacy drawings to a 3D CAD database (SolidWorks).

● Manage officer core of 8 and delegate duties to foster excellence in a high-risk atmosphere. ● Preside over meetings and command leadership to help organize social fraternity of 92 men. ● Enforce all bylaws of the chapter and aid treasurer in the development of the budget.

● Created and modified components to meet customer demands and DFM specifications. ● Designed fixtures for various parts for quick, poka-yoke, and repeatable Q.A. testing. ● Redesigned injection molded and sheet metal components to save material and reduce cost.
