What each group covers
Robotics and Automation Integration
machine vision, end-of-arm tooling, controls and sensing, third-party equipment integration, multi-line architecture, changeover engineering, rate and throughput calculation
Material Handling and Conveyance
conveyor design, chutes and diverts, bulk material behavior, skid and process packages
Mechanical Design
mechanisms and linkages, structural steel and weldments, enclosures, material selection, retrofits, design standardization
Analysis and Testing

Manufacturing and Prototyping
design for manufacture, fabrication drawings, additive prototyping, test rigs and fixtures, prototype testing, design for assembly and transport
Sanitary and Hygienic Design
washdown design, contamination control, design for cleaning and maintenance
Safety and Compliance
guarding and interlocks, fall protection, fail-safe design, hazardous atmospheres, regulatory compliance, ergonomics
Systems Engineering and Leadership
requirements definition, cross-discipline coordination, program leadership, design review, concept and proposal work, teaching and mentoring
Plant Layout and Field Work
layout under constraints, site surveys, commissioning and factory acceptance testing
CAD sits under everything here: SolidWorks (CSWP), Inventor, AutoCAD and DraftSight, Onshape, Fusion 360 and 3ds Max, used on nearly every project.
