Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolShane Mckinney is a systems engineer with a decade of cross-disciplinary experience designing and deploying robotics and automation for aerospace manufacturing and high-assurance research environments. At Airbus he architects, integrates, and debugs robotic systems—combining embedded C/C++, Python, motion control, sensor integration, and communications protocols—to automate aircraft production and train shop personnel. His background at Los Alamos includes parallel solver optimizations and large-scale simulator refactors that enabled 5x speedups and orders-of-magnitude larger meshes for CO2 sequestration modeling. Skilled in schematics (Altium), CAD/FEA (Creo), and root-cause analysis, he bridges mechanical design, controls, and software to deliver safe, production-ready machines. He’s a published researcher in structural health monitoring for space vehicles, bringing a research-informed approach to industrial systems. Based in Monroe, WA, Shane blends hands-on machine integration with a proven track record of turning complex simulations and logs into reproducible fixes and scalable deployments.
