# Ethan Feshold > Robotics Software @ Mytra | Carnegie Mellon Mechanical Engineering and Computer Science Location: San Francisco, California, United States Profile: https://flows.cv/ethanfeshold I’m a Robotics Engineer passionate about building systems that seamlessly unite hardware, software, and control. I graduated from Carnegie Mellon University with a B.S. in Mechanical Engineering and a minor in Computer Science, where I developed a foundation in mechatronic system design, controls, and algorithmic problem-solving. At Mytra, I’ve contributed to the development of advanced robotic test and automation systems—architecting validation frameworks that reduced process time by 96%. My work spans full-system integration, from embedded firmware to physical test hardware. I’m most driven by work that blends hands-on engineering and systems-level thinking — developing tools, controls, and processes that make complex robotic systems more capable, testable, and reliable. I’m always eager to collaborate with teams pushing the boundaries of automation and design innovation. ## Work Experience ### Robotics Software Engineer @ Mytra Jan 2025 – Present | Brisbane, California, United States ### Systems Integration Engineer @ Mytra Jan 2025 – Jan 2025 | South San Francisco, California, United States ### Mechatronics Engineer @ Mytra Jan 2024 – Jan 2025 | South San Francisco, California, United States ### Chief Executive Officer (Part-time, remote) @ Dynamic Design Solutions LLC Jan 2022 – Present | New Paltz, New York, United States ### Mechanical Design Engineer @ Mytra Jan 2023 – Jan 2023 | South San Francisco, California, United States • Designed a safety recovery system for robotics testing enabling seamless bot recovery after failure. • Developed and integrated various sensor and motor mounts onto the bot enabling rectilinear kinematic freedom in 3D. • Designed and 3D printed a stereoscopic camera test rig to develop depth vision algorithms. • Networked with industry experts in robotics and ML to develop an MVP for product demos. ### Student Advisory Council Leader @ Carnegie Mellon University Jan 2021 – Jan 2023 | Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, United States • Worked as the liaison between students and faculty in the Mechanical Engineering department at CMU. • Held office hours and relayed student feedback to course staff to ensure an effective and desirable learning environment. ### Dimensional Design Engineer @ Tesla Jan 2022 – Jan 2022 | Fremont, California, United States • Employed root cause analysis by examining metrology data to determine tooling adjustments that shift car fitment to nominal. In most cases, increasing process Cp and Cpk by 0.8. • Used CATIA and SolidWorks to design, simulate, and validate new tooling that introduced updated parts into the line. Successfully designed tooling that enabled cutover of 4 trial parts into full production parts. • Created part drawings with full GD&T and communicated with vendors to outsource fabrication. • Designed and 3D printed numerous tooling prototypes saving my team over $20000/yr. • Trained and mentored two dimensional technicians to join the team. • Networked with industry experts to validate my designs and discuss potential optimizations. ### Systems and Manufacturing Engineer @ NYC Cases Jan 2019 – Jan 2021 | New Paltz, New York, United States • Utilized various power tools and materials to construct durable and aesthetically pleasing custom cases for specialty music equipment. • Led stage 1 manufacturing, which took the product from raw materials to a skeleton structure. • Interfaced with an industry expert to perform root cause analysis and identify bottlenecks in manufacturing, ultimately stage 1 manufacturing time was decreased by 10%. • Provided insight to revamp designs based on customer reviews to maintain company prestige. • Designed, prototyped, and pitched a new product line of watch cases for when the company is ready to expand its target markets. ### Junior Financial Architect @ Retirement Architecture Jan 2020 – Jan 2020 | Poughkeepsie, New York, United States • Collaborated with a team of experts to analyze customers' financial data to construct a long-term financial plan that minimizes taxable Income. • Generated over 600 drafts and 50 final draft financial plans. • Oversaw the training of four individuals to join the team. ### Server @ Main Course Catering & Marketplace Jan 2018 – Jan 2018 | New Paltz, New York, United States • Professionally catered weddings, providing memorable and lively environments for clients to enjoy. ## Education ### Bachelor of Science - BS in Mechanical Engineering Carnegie Mellon University ### New Paltz Senior High School ## Contact & Social - LinkedIn: https://linkedin.com/in/ethan-feshold --- Source: https://flows.cv/ethanfeshold JSON Resume: https://flows.cv/ethanfeshold/resume.json Last updated: 2026-03-29
