> Why are you interested in this position?
I am a robotics researcher at the University of Pennsylvania and will graduate with a PhD in Electrical Engineering in August. The experience I have gained in both software and hardware robotics engineering are, I think, directly applicable to the mission of Humanistic Robotics, and I'm very interested to apply my skills to make the world a better and safer place.
> Describe your hardware design experience?
I have worked on several projects in college and graduate school that involved hardware design. As part of teams, I helped design a quadrotor UAV and later a handheld visuo-haptic sensor assembly which was modeled in SolidWorks and assembled using laser-cut MDF and 3D-printed acrylic. With my current level of experience, I am much more comfortable on the software side than in mechanical design, but I am looking to gain more experience using tools like SolidWorks.
> What size teams have you worked on in the past?
I have mainly worked on academic research projects
