Robotics Product Dev & Mechanical Design | AMR AGV UGV | CTO Advisory
Most non-technical founders building a robot make the same mistake. They hire for execution before they have a strategy worth executing. I FIX THAT, and THEN I BUILD THE ROBOT I'm a robotics engineer and product development lead with 10+ years of hands-on experience in ground robotics. I run an 8-person specialist agency that takes AMR, AGV, and UGV systems from concept to field-validated hardware, mechanical architecture first, full-stack when the project demands it. My work sits at the intersection of three things most early-stage robotics projects desperately need: 01. ROBOTICS PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT - Full-stack AMR / AGV / UGV development: mechanical, electrical, ROS 2, CV, fleet apps - Concept to TRL 6–7 validated prototype in 5–7 months - Design-for-manufacturing embedded from day one, not bolted on later - One team owning the full vehicle, no handoff failures between disciplines 02. SPECIALIZED MECHANICAL DESIGN - Ground robot chassis, drivetrain, payload structure, and mechanism design - Robotic arm integration and cell mechanical layout - Mechanical architecture that survives real-world conditions, not just clean CAD - Available as standalone mechanical contracts for system integrators 03. CTO ADVISORY (PROJECT-BASED) - Technical leadership for non-technical founders during the build - Architecture decisions, vendor selection, team structuring, risk identification - I guide the decisions that determine whether your prototype works or doesn't - No open-ended retainer, scoped to your project timeline WHO THIS IS FOR - Early-stage founders who need one team to own the full robot - Non-technical founders who need a technical leader, not just a contractor - Startups building toward TRL 7 with investor milestones ahead WHO THIS IS NOT FOR - If you need a body shop to execute a spec someone else wrote, there are cheaper options. - If you need a team that owns outcomes, not just deliverables, that's us. 10+ years. Ground robots. We build what others plan.
