Anthony Gray

Automation and Robotics Engineering graduate from The University of Western Australia with practical experience across aerospace manufacturing support, autonomous drone operations, sensor integration, embedded systems, and quality assurance. Experienced in taking engineering projects from initial problem definition through implementation, calibration, and experimental testing. Demonstrated problem-solving and technical leadership through competitive engineering finishes (1st and 2nd place), with a strong focus on safety-critical procedures, risk assessments, and applying automation and control technologies to industrial operations.

Production Support - Innovaero, Defence - Perth, WA

(2026-03 - 2026-06)

• Performed dimensional inspection of aerospace components using a Romer Arm CMM and PolyWorks, interpreting engineering drawings and manufacturing tolerances to verify component conformity.
• Conducted tensile strength testing against specified engineering requirements and documented detailed test results for quality assurance.
• Identified and logged non-conforming components, supporting corrective-action, root cause analysis, and manufacturing traceability workflows.
• Interpreted complex 3D CAD models using Creo Parametric to support day-to-day manufacturing and assembly activities.
• Completed Job Risk Assessments (JRAs) prior to engineering activities, proactively identifying hazards and establishing control measures.
• Utilised Jira to track engineering tasks, log non-conformances, and maintain workflow visibility within a regulated environment.

Ground Crew (Casual) - Drone Sky Shows - Perth, WA

(2022-06)

• Executed pre-start safety inspections and functional testing of electrical and mechanical systems supporting autonomous drone fleets.
• Assisted with field setup, system commissioning, live operation troubleshooting, and hardware recovery during time-critical deployments.
• Applied formal risk assessment protocols to identify operational hazards and enforce control measures prior to launch.
• Diagnosed and escalated equipment faults under operational time constraints, collaborating with ground teams to ensure safe recovery.
• Maintained strict compliance with procedural safety standards and communication protocols in safety-critical environments.
