Background

About Timothy Schneider

I’m a Senior Robotics Integration Engineer with 8+ years of hands-on experience designing, maintaining, and optimizing advanced robotic systems — including KUKA, FANUC, and custom actuator builds.At Tesla, I’ve led troubleshooting and system-level root cause efforts across Model 3, S/X, and Y Body in White and actuator lines, prototyped 3D-printed end-effectors and jigs, and deployed rapid mechanical solutions with zero room for error. I work directly with engineers and manufacturing leaders to solve real production problems in real time — using CATIA, 3D printing, GD & T, PLCs, and deep mechanical troubleshooting.My background also includes military-grade electrical power production and certified training in fall protection, arc flash, and robot operations (KUKA, FANUC Academy). I believe in fast iteration, lean tooling, and getting the line back up — no fluff, just real results.
