Carnegie Robotics:
Life as a sysE/Tech Lead

main     focus :     Nilfisk's    autonomous    Floor    scrubber    (A50)

My role evolved over the three "6-month sprints" I had on this project, which was the largest effort in the company.

Initial phase [Feb 2017-July 2017]-- Systems & Test Engineer:
  • Requirements management, V&V, supervised test plans and execution of hardware
  • Sensor evaluation, especially evaluation of initial system, and subsequent characterization of the environment in infrared (850nm)
  • Stereo camera calibration and improving in-house production​
2nd phase [July 2017-November 2017]-- Systems Engineer & Risk Reduction Lead:
  • Identified gaps in functionality of the system and led the evaluation of sensors and compute components
  • Negotiated with hardware suppliers (especially for compute boards, sensors, and memory)
  • Set requirements for prototype and production of hardware components of onboard safety system and overall hardware design
3rd (final) phase [December 2017- August 2018] Technical/Integration Lead: 
  • Sat in daily discussions and led parts of the technical briefing meetings
  • Negotiated development schedule of key milestones for customer-desired features to create a more robust and viable product
  • Led production V&V (end-of-line testing) on autonomy, which focused on system integration on the Carnegie side and discussions with Nilfisk's R&D and Nilfisk's production side
  • Participated in field testing and evaluation of difficult indoor areas
Carnegie Robotics, LLC (CRL) is a small (100-person) company based out of Pittsburgh, PA. It's origins are from the university, specifically CMU's NREC, however, it is not affiliated with the institution.
