About Chandan Salil

With a Master's in Robotics from the University of Maryland, where I'm currently completing my studies, and a Bachelor's in Electronics and Communication from Manipal University Jaipur, I bring a solid foundation in both robotics and electronics. Throughout my education, I've delved into a wide array of relevant coursework, including Control of Robotics Systems, Robot Programming, and Signals and Systems, honing my skills in PLC programming, AutoCAD, and C++ among others. My professional journey began at Intralox in Baltimore, MD, where I transitioned from an intern to a co-op Control Engineer. Here, I contributed significantly to the development of cutting-edge conveyance systems, leveraging my expertise in drafting electro-mechanical schematics and configuring PLCs, HMIs, and various sensors crucial for mail sorting systems. I also gained proficiency in industry-standard software like Oracle ERP and Autodesk Inventor while assisting with project commissioning and troubleshooting. Prior to this, I kickstarted my career as a Software Engineer at Capgemini in Bangalore, India, where I received comprehensive training in SQL database management and C#, and contributed to projects utilizing content management systems such as Sitecore. Notable among my achievements is overseeing the commissioning of a mail sorting system for a prominent logistics company, where I effectively coordinated with multiple contractors and conducted PLC programming, VFD programming, and sensor calibration to ensure seamless operation. Additionally, I innovated a Quality Assurance Procedure utilizing FLIR Camera Technology, resolving recurring electrical faults in sorting systems and laying the groundwork for future standard protocols in project commissioning. My commitment to education and sharing knowledge extends to my role as a Graduate Teaching Assistant at the University of Maryland, where I've provided technical guidance to students in Electronics and Instrumentation II, overseeing lab experiments and offering support for project work. With a solid educational background, hands-on experience, and a passion for innovation, I am excited to bring my skills and expertise to a Controls Engineer role where I can continue to contribute to cutting-edge projects and drive technological advancements in the field
