Summary
Maintenance Technician with over eight years of experience in high-volume manufacturing environments. More than five years at Tesla since May 2021, where I troubleshoot complex automated systems on high-capacity hydraulic press lines, perform maintenance on FANUC and KUKA robots, and conduct PLC troubleshooting with Allen Bradley and Siemens systems. I also submit multiple take charges to drive process improvements and reduce costs. Prior experience at E. & J. Gallo Winery from June 2016 to December 2020, where I supported new production line startups when new products were introduced. Working in a fast-paced bottling environment with equipment that requires constant adjustments for different bottle and wine types. I am currently pursuing a B.S. in Electrical Engineering, expected graduation late 2027. Eager to join Optimus as an Engineering Technician and contribute to its fast-paced robotics development team.
