Kjell Loeoeck developed hardware and fabrication assets for the SenseMate project in the smartuni/riot-po-2025 repository, focusing on rapid prototyping and manufacturing readiness. Over three months, Kjell expanded the connector footprint library, refactored schematics, and consolidated 3D printing assets using KiCad, FreeCAD, and G-code. He established a reproducible CAM workflow, versioned fabrication assets, and improved onboarding documentation, which enhanced design flexibility and traceability. By iteratively refining PCB layouts and casing designs, Kjell reduced downstream iteration time and enabled reliable assembly. The work demonstrated depth in 3D modeling, electronics engineering, and project setup, supporting scalable hardware development and automation.

July 2025: Delivered SenseMate 3D PCB fabrication assets and established a reproducible CAM workflow in smartuni/riot-po-2025. The key deliverable was G-code generation for the SenseMate 3D PCB design, enabling fabrication of the new PCB. No major bugs fixed this month. Overall impact: shortened hardware iteration cycles, improved manufacturing readiness, and stronger traceability of fabrication assets. Technologies/skills demonstrated: G-code generation, CAM workflow integration, version-controlled fabrication assets, and cross-functional collaboration across hardware and software teams.
