Role: Lead R&D Mechanical Engineer
- Designed a patent-pending dynamic algorithm to control a new component that improves machine performance
- Utilized Arduino code and PCBA to test and validate component performance
- Completed multiple iterations of the algorithm before implementing it into the main software for further testing
- Created a robust, responsive algorithm that increases versatility and accuracy
- Designed and integrated components into an existing system to provide quality improvements
- Created test rigs and software, with the aid of cross-functional teams, to ensure a robust component was selected
- Completed extensive testing to validate that the introduction of the new component either maintained or improved mechanical functionality and output quality
- Developed temperature and pump control sequence for a new feature and integrated it into an existing system
- Aided in the development and integration of an additional beverage style on the machines
- Collaborated with international teams
- Worked with JIRA to properly capture and track all issues found during development
- Presented to key stakeholders and leadership to provide insight into the project's progress
