About Graciela C Gonzalez
I am a Mechatronics Engineer from one of the most challenging University programs in Mexico. After College I became a product engineer for a company dedicated to plastic products. My main duty was to serve as bridge between customer needs and manufacturing plant capabilities. At this company I identified an opportunity to improve and streamline the software for a new plastic extrusion machine. After I proposed to use the LabVIEW and CompactRIO platforms to automate the new machine, I was responsible to bring the project from idea to implementation. Multiple roles in a small company gave me a very good foundation of engineering as it relates to multiple aspects of a business including requirement gathering centered on customer needs, manufacturing challenges, product development and project management. My next role was as a test engineer for a multinational company. In this job I was originally in charge of carrying out the test plan for an embedded platform used in commercial vehicles. After automating several tasks on my own project and sharing the tools with other developers I transitioned into the \"tools team\". I drew from my software development experience, Python skills and test engineer background to increase the capabilities and quality of the tools. I made the job of my fellow test engineers faster, more accurate and reliable. The automotive industry is on the verge of a big revolution, so I have decided to evolve myself. I am moving from design test to autonomous driving. I want to take part of the \"Self-Driving Car\" revolution to bring autonomy into the roads. If you are looking for a hard working and resourceful engineer look no further!
