Automation Intern

Mechanical engineering graduate with robotics experience, designed a surgical-robotics end effector and simulated a SCARA robot in MATLAB.

United KingdomAutomation Intern at KIPAS Holding

About

At the University of Sussex, I designed a linear-stage end effector for permanent-magnet positioning in surgical robotics. I also designed a SCARA robot for automated chocolate packing, developing its kinematics and trajectory simulations in MATLAB. My coursework included designing and testing PI controllers for DC motor speed control and state-feedback control for inverted-pendulum balancing using MATLAB/Simulink and Quanser hardware. I also implemented vision features on a Quanser QBot 3 and programmed an ATmega2560 robot for line tracking, obstacle avoidance, and object following. At KIPAS Holding, I worked with automation teams at starch, paper, and textile fiber manufacturing facilities, gaining exposure to SCADA systems and Siemens automation technologies. At Cagri Makina, I prepared machine-component drawings in SolidWorks, monitored machining, and supported project tracking and material selection. As Event Director at the University of Sussex Turkish Society, I planned cultural and social events and managed budgets, generating over £1,000 in surplus for future activities. I’m seeking an engineering role where I can apply and further develop my technical capabilities in a professional engineering environment.
