Robert Scott Green
I'm an experienced Mechanical Engineer that has always been passionate about programming/automation. After years of saving my employers from hiring additional engineers with the code I wrote, I've now taken the leap to officially pursue this passion and break into Tech.

Opto-mechanical Design Engineer @ Raytheon ELCAN Optical Technologies
Designed, prototyped, tested, managed, and supervised assembly of areospace and military optical products from craddle to grave.
- Lead the design, build and testing of a multi-waveband modern theodolite.
- Spearheaded an in-depth investigation of a legacy program's 70% re-work rate and reduced it to the expected 3% which doubled profits.
- Full product RSS tolerance stack analysis and applications using CodeV optical data.
- Professional Autodesk Inventor user utilizing iLogic scripts and parameter driven design to increase design efficiency.
- CAD system administrator & developed company's Design Standards utilizing iLogic to automate and enforce standardization; reduced initial design phase lead-time by ~50%.
- Developed iLogic program to convert optical zoom positional data into accurate parametric models of smoothed barrel CAM paths for rifle sights; reduced lead-time of rifle scope initial design to successful prototype by 95%.
- Developed iLogic program to convert CodeV optical designs into native Autodesk Inventor files; setting up tolerances, parameters, and key layout data to kick-start the design phase; reduced human error between departments by 100%.

Advanced Manufacturing Engineer @ Magna Closures
Managed and engineered the layout, process, and integration of new assembly/weld equipment into the facility.
- Designed test/weld/assembly fixtures, pre-production prototypes, wire bending cells, racking/conveyor systems, and other R&D components for manufacturing work cells using SolidWorks as primary CAD software.
- Common: RFQ's, PFMEA's, DoE's, Takt-time layouts, robotic weld programming, and hands-on installation of equipment.
- Built a Solidworks VBA program to generate component/product in/out racking systems based on takt-time. Script created full BoM, cut-lengths, and assembly instructions and eliminated the need for a co-op position.

From-scratch full-stack Blog/CV website using Flask, SQLite3, and Bootstrap with automated elements. This project was an excuse to create and traditionally host a custom web app.
- Lightweight custom design and fully responsive.
- Curriculum Vitae page is generated using a central JSON data file (stored as a Github Gist and follows the jsonresume.org schema).
- Blog posts are written in Jupyter Notebooks, converted to html using Quarto, then uploaded to site which modifies sources and extracts metadata to store in SQLite3 database.
- Flask webapp is deployed on Linux cloud server using Gunicorn and Nginx with a Let's Encrypt SSL cert.
Compilation of random rabbit-hole side projects to display proof of competency.
Utilized Autodesk Inventor's iLogic (VBA wrapper) to write three key automation programs which ultimately prevented the need to hire two additional designers (Raytheon-owned project)
- Auto-generated drawing templates based on part type and program security/export requirements. Drawing setup time reduction from 10-20min to <1min and elimination of program related errors.
- Optical Zoom CAM-path generator based on importing data from CodeV. Moved from list of points for manufacturing to perfect parametric model. Design-to-prototype time reduction from 4-6 months to a few days.
- Native optical CAD design setup. Generated full lens/optical models in Inventor with embedded tolerances, materials, and optical surface requirements imported from CodeV and auto-translated to ISO10110 drawings. Opto-mechanical CAD design setup reduction from weeks to minutes.
VBA program to generate ingoing/outgoing conveyor rack design based on importing CAD part (to get size/weight) and takt-time requirements. (Magna-owned project)
- Time to design, order/cut parts, and assemble reduced from weeks to less than a day's work.
- Removed need for co-op student. Whoops.
