About Saswat Pandey

I’m a Robotics and Autonomous Systems graduate student at Arizona State University with over 4 years of professional experience in industrial automation, robotics integration, and product testing systems. My work bridges mechanical design, predictive simulation (FEA/FEM), and embedded automation to deliver high-performance, safety-compliant solutions for electromechanical products.At JBM Industries, I led the development and deployment of robotic actuator test systems using Siemens PLCs, SCADA, CAN diagnostics, and modular fixturing—cutting defect rates by 50% and improving OEE by 60%. I’ve also driven production optimization through fixture design in SolidWorks and ANSYS-based fatigue/thermal simulations. These contributions consistently reduced downtime, enhanced traceability, and supported PPAP and Six Sigma workflows.I’m deeply passionate about simulation-driven design and system-level validation. My academic work includes COMSOL-based multi-physics analysis of battery interconnects, real-time sensor data modeling using PyTorch, and lane-keeping controllers using LQR and MPC in MATLAB. I also mentor senior design teams on DFM/DTC, stress analysis, and FMEA as a capstone TA.My focus lies at the intersection of mechanical innovation and intelligent automation—where test systems, robotics, and simulation engineering meet to deliver robust, scalable hardware. I am actively seeking roles where I can build and validate systems that push the boundaries of product reliability, test automation, and user experience.
