A lot of production can be ran "lights out" but not everything. You usually already know based on the material and tooling what problems you will face. Add in tight tolerances and it becomes a nightmare. "Lights out" if being used to meet deadlines works better with a periodic babysitter.

been machining "lights out", making good and bad parts bad parts were due to poor material removal from the conveyor belt, a common solution used, but often executed poorly we chased many solutions, all band-aid fixes finally turned it off because it wasn't even necessary

Man. Changing my algo from political slop to engineering and robotics has been so refreshing, so many new awesome people to follow and who are following me as well. I am going to keep posting content from current and past work from my career in robotics, my path moving forward, and stuff in between. Glad to be out of that rut of depressing x feeds. It didn't take long to change it up either. Here's a pretty cool robot EOAT I did for a customer who manufactured Amazon infrastructure hardware. I also did about 25 robotic welding cells for them.

It’s amazing. Folks just realized robotic systems need to be: 1) installed 2) engineered 3) permitted 4) insured 5) cyber secure -your neighborhood professional engineer
Joe Harris@_joe_harris_

we need more FDEs in robotics. someone who can: - deploy the robot, watch the telemetry, and spot what's wrong - trace a bug through coupled systems where the sensor is blaming the controller and the controller is blaming the sensor - reproduce a problem that only shows up one in ten runs - compare performance across different units running the same software - decide which tests can be skipped and what actually needs attention - close the loop between "that was weird" and "here's the fix" in minutes and give them the tools to do this at scale!

@shreyansj It’s refreshing to see a company of this size successfully call bs on the whole thing to this extent. One group of MTS on a mission, clean.

FreeCAD @FreeCADNews is amazing. If you have not tried it recently, please give it a go, watch some YouTube tutorials to help with the learning curve, then don’t look back.

AutoCAD costs $2,030 a year. SolidWorks costs $4,195 a year just for the standard license. Someone open sourced a 3D parametric modeler that does most of what both of them do, and you can install it on Windows, Mac, and Linux for $0. It's called FreeCAD. Sketch geometry-constrained 2D shapes, extrude them into parametric 3D models, and edit any parameter in the history tree to update the entire design instantly. Reads and writes STEP, IGES, STL, DXF, OBJ, and IFC out of the box. 28.9K stars. LGPL-2.1. 100% Opensource. freecad.org

I almost passed on Perseus Defense because they had zero ARR. That would have been the worst mistake of my career. Applying SaaS metrics to defense hardware is like judging a nuclear submarine by its app store rating. Perseus was founded by an engineer who led NASA's Titan Dragonfly program and another who built autonomous systems for Boeing and USV swarms for the Navy. The Ukraine conflict proved that $500 drones can destroy $100M military assets. Perseus was solving that problem at speed - a functional micro-UAS prototype in one week, two guided missile versions a month later. The DoD at the table is the early customer. That's not a pipeline. That's a market validation no ARR dashboard can replicate. Stop asking hardware founders about recurring revenue. Start asking whether the problem they're solving can afford to wait.

@mathelirium @parmita Yes, I was speaking from experience in those fields. Electrical, mechanical and so on. Now you can argue that a hands on implementation is research in the making, but the engineering is still getting done.

@ChipHaze @parmita Yeah, thats what I was thinking too. For instance, most researchers in electrical engineering are pretty hands on... constantly testing their theories with prototypes

@mathelirium @parmita If research is understanding nuance, she's right. If research is needing the meta of your domain to function, Elon's right. She's thinking in medicine. Elon's thinking in mechanics, mathematics, and execution. Neither is wrong. They're just not speaking the same language.

I see you're in Michigan, and I know this industry well. Yes the entry wage is around $35-45. Five years + experience will be 50-75. Since they travel, they also get paid mileage. On average new guys are making 90k a year with all the add ons. The more experienced guys are making 125-170 a year. To get one of us off the road, it takes a lot.

@kyledcollins You need to be able to fight for resources internally, and convey to the management chain that your team is on track/has goals and are meeting them.

This is how we interview at Boom also. Those who have actually done hard things can explain this at an excruciating level of detail that is impossible to fake.
Elon Musk@elonmusk

Evidence of exceptional ability and asking how they solved hard problems down to the brass tacks level is what matters. Those who actually deserve credit know the details of the solution, because it was so hard it got seared into their brain. The phonies and posers who falsely claim credit will flounder at the second or third level of detail.

@_imdawon You can learn how to run a mill or a lathe at any machine shop. You go to school, so you don't have to run a lathe the rest of your life. Well, unless that's what you want to do.
