Amazon Robotics
My role as an Amazon Robotics Hardware Engineer is functionally one-third mechanical (CAD, machine shop, FEA, documentation), one-third electromechanical (sensor interfacing, Python library authoring, automation), and one-third test execution (designing tests and automating their completion). One of the notably large projects I worked on was the gantry-automated environment for the autonomous drive "Proteus". Due to NDA and IP, most details are not included, just simplified CAD, photos, and video.
Problem Statement:
Design a fully automated system to portray a moving environment around a static robot. Automate safety certification and firmware regression testing with sub-mm tolerancing/deflection and angular inaccuracy.

Manufacturing Drawings
Python Library Author for iTOF and LiDAR DAQ
Another large project that I spearheaded was creating a CLI tool in Python to successfully capture .pcap packets from iTOF cameras and LiDAR sensors to test for Proteus Gen2 feasibility. The tool then had to buffer the packets, decode to a human-readable format, and post-process into a satisfactory visual representation. For IP reasons, minimal final design and official testing is shown.
