# Nishant Pathak > AI Software Engineer | Mechanical Engineer | Equipment Engineer | GenAI, Agentic Systems, Cloud-Native & Manufacturing Innovation Currently Building AI Autopilot @Etech7 Inc Location: New York, New York, United States Profile: https://flows.cv/nishantpathak I am an AI Software Engineer and Mechanical Engineer with expertise in building intelligent systems, distributed infrastructure, and optimized manufacturing solutions. My career spans generative AI, agentic frameworks, and cloud-native platforms as well as mechanical design, automation, and process optimization, giving me a unique cross-disciplinary perspective on complex engineering challenges. At AI Autopilot (ETech 7), I am designing and maintaining Spring Boot–based microservices, leading migration to Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS), and developing a Meta Model Control Plane with dSpy-based intelligent routing and Agentic RAG. I integrate these with LangGraph-powered agents and manage endpoints for PSA platforms such as ConnectWise and Autotask. I drive innovation in AI-driven automation while shaping system architecture and product features. Previously, I worked in mechanical and industrial engineering, managing production systems, leading performance improvement projects, and advancing manufacturing automation. My experience includes process optimization, robotics integration, PLC programming, and structural dynamics research. I hold a Master’s in Mechanical Engineering (GPA 3.85) from New York University and a Bachelor’s in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Mumbai. This foundation in structural analysis, robotics, and design informs my current AI systems work, where precision and scalability are equally critical. I enjoy solving multidisciplinary problems that bridge software and hardware — whether it’s scaling AI infrastructure or optimizing industrial processes — and I’m always open to collaborating across domains. ## Work Experience ### AI Software Engineer || (Generative Systems & Infrastructure) @ ETech 7 Jan 2025 – Present | New York, New York, United States • Designing and maintaining Spring Boot–based microservices and leading migration to Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS). • Adding new features to the AI Autopilot product to enhance ticket triage and dispatch for MSPs. • Developing a custom Meta MCP (Model Control Plane) with dSpy-based intelligent routing and Agentic RAG pipelines. • Connecting MCP to agents via the LangGraph framework, enabling orchestration of domain-specific microservices and tools. • Managing endpoints and integrations with PSA platforms such as ConnectWise and Autotask. • Driving innovation in AI systems by independently building frameworks that extend product intelligence and autonomy. • Serving as an early founding engineer, shaping the product’s technical architecture and influencing long-term infrastructure strategy. ### Equipment Engineer @ HANWHA Q CELLS USA INC Jan 2024 – Jan 2025 | Dalton, Georgia, United States • Managed backend production floor operations for production of Solar Panels, overseeing machines such as Framer Assembly, Junction Box Attach, Soldering, Auto Label, Corner Caps, and Fanuc Robots. • Reduced J-Box Attach alarms by 75% and increased runtime by 5.3% through targeted improvement plans. • Developed new guides for 24 J-Box carts and 8 robots using AutoCAD LT, decreasing alarms and downtime. • Supervised maintenance and repairs for an entire backend production line producing 200 solar panels per hour, ensuring smooth operations and minimal downtime by troubleshooting machines and root cause analysis. • Administered Production maintenance and Job Change of Solar panel modules from 108 to 156 Cell modules and vice versa. • Created detailed technical reports and ensured compliance with OSHA safety guidelines, including LOTO authorization. • Analyzed downtime data and managed purchase requests and BOM for spare parts replacement using EMI- ERP system. ### Mechanical Engineer @ Subaru of America Jan 2023 – Jan 2024 | New Jersey, United States • Conducted failure analysis and corrective actions to enhance product reliability while designing and drafting components using AutoCAD, SolidWorks, and Creo. • Optimized manufacturing systems and floor space utilization by 17% using Autodesk Revit and Fusion 360, with hands-on experience in robotics automation. • Troubleshot machinery, analyzed engine errors, implemented statistical process control, improving product quality by 20%. • Designed and tested prototypes, reducing lead times by 11% through new automotive models. • Managed PLC programming & implemented process change, enhancing manufacturing precision & reducing scrap by 20%. • Utilized MATLAB for simulations and data analysis to support engineering decisions and improve product development. ### STEM Leader/ Instructor (on Campus Summer Job) @ NYU Center for K12 STEM Education Jan 2023 – Jan 2023 | Brooklyn, New York, United States • Delivered engaging classroom sessions on Science of Smart Cities and Guided students through the curriculum, ensuring their understanding. • Facilitated hands-on learning experiences for 20 students, introducing them to micro-controllers and teaching coding in C++ & Python to foster understanding of hardware-software integration and problem-solving skills. • Pursued full-time during the summer and Demonstrated knowledge and enthusiasm for the applications of STEM in solving real-world problems, effectively engaging, and connecting with students through excellent communication and technical leadership skills. ### Mechanical Engineer (Performance Improvement Projects & Quality Control Specialist) @ Parle Products Pvt.
