Designing the next axis of motion for a collaborative robot on the Starfactory floor — kinematics, integration, safety case.
Placeholder. Project specifics — geometry, payload envelope, cell layout, sensor stack — are covered by NDA. This page documents the methodology and the engineering posture, not the artifact.
If you're a recruiter or hiring manager and need the full story, reach out and we can talk under appropriate cover.
Placeholder. The work runs three loops simultaneously: a kinematics loop pinning down reach, payload, and dynamics; an integration loop fitting the axis into an existing cell without breaking adjacent operations; a safety case loop closing risk-assessment line items so it actually goes live.

Placeholder. Decisions tied to a real cell on a real factory floor. Get to a defensible answer fast, then iterate. Perfect later.
Placeholder. Collaborative motion lives or dies on the safety case. Treating it as a kinematics-only problem is the failure mode I'm most watching for.
Placeholder. Every decision lands in the project log with the alternative considered and the reason it lost. Future-me and future-team need the trail.
Placeholder. Project is active through Winter '26. A redacted post-mortem will land here once the term closes and approvals clear.
