Key Achievement: Defined requirements and coordinated work between design agencies and vendors to develop automated UAV takeoff and conveyance system to improve throughput for drone-based operations

• Drove aircraft hardware modification projects to improve delivery package stability and dropoff success, resulting in a 50% increase in delivery success rate
• Developed discrete-event simulation environment using Python with GUI to better understand drone delivery operations at scale,thus enabling key decision-making without costly investment and experimentation
• Created and implemented team structure, standards, and best practices for a new team

Key Achievement: Integrated sensor-fusion technology into intelligent vehicle platform to deliver high-precision, low-cost localization technology, resulting in winning high-value permit to operate in Chicago, IL

• Translated problem statements from operations teams into feature specifications,thereby improving vehicle downtime and profit margins by 30%
• Communicated complex topics to non-technical teams to improve accuracy and clarity of marketing materials and technological expectations to external stakeholders and internal partners

Key Achievement: Developed hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) fixture and software tests for vehicle platform, increasing fault injection and stability test coverage by over 10x and drastically reducing release defects

• Built manufacturing test log database, data pipeline, and tooling from scratch resulting 35% cycle time reduction on manufacturing line, amongst many other use-cases
• Upgraded test report analytics to improve data consumption and debugging capability of engineering teams to reduce time-to-market for new features
• Designed and specified manufacturing test fixture that enabled offline firmware updates during final assembly to streamline communications and troubleshooting processes with manufacturing partners in China
• Managed vehicle firmware release process that included performance field testing and validation, engineering hange order documentation, and education of operations teams on feature set changes
