Work Experience

• October 2006-Current Hyde Group Ltd (Design) Automation Division. Project Engineer.

• Currently undertaking automation research and development in partnership with Airbus UK on the NGCW (new generation composite wing) project.

• Robot Trim and drill cell, a £200K project that used 3D CAD off-line programming to trim and drill aerospace seats for a company in Northern Ireland, for this project I was in charge of the off-line programming and training of the operators.

• Robotic exhaust rubber isolator insert cell, value under £100K. I did the design and specification for this cell. Its job was to take the rubber isolator from a pre-populated parts rack and push them onto the exhaust mounting hooks.

• Robotic car seat assembly cell design/quote, value £450K. Cell had five robots  with automatic screw feed driver, rivet insert and nut runner systems, it assembled a car seat base frame from four major components.

• Robotic and manual aircraft galley assembly factory, value 5.5million. factory would have built a full aircraft galley from scratch for this I did the cell design and robot specification.

• A350 Bid package value roughly 500million. for this I did the robot specification and was a team member working on the automation design.

• June 2005 – August 2005 Bluewood Document Management.

• Vacation employment, scanning documents and plans for data storage including work for several building societies and local government.

• Voluntary work Wasteknot Community Recycling.
