Summary

Ohad Inbar | Make Stuff Useful

An extensive version of how I tend to "operate" professionally can be found here.

With some training in leadership, Agile/lean methods and project management, see recent training and courses, I am ready to facilitate treading forward together, because leading comes natural to me.

My "Dream Occupation", which I try to live up to every day, is making stuff useful, design and re-design the world and its systems to become more useful, sustainable and fun to operate.

My Front-End is mechatronics (as well as programming/function development) User-Centered design and innovation.

Others think of me as dynamic, creative, unafraid to question, great at gathering & visualizing information, tech-savvy and innovative, see solutions rather than obstacles (frustration = gaining momentum), serious and dedicated, good in writing...

"My Itch" is finding faults and pain points, inventing stuff, creating novel solutions, finding the pattern in the chaos.

Culture is to me to have a "Why" - the one who has the "why" will ultimately come up with "how".

The Basics, agriculture operator and technician, "square one", from which I've developed, and eventually outgrown.

Of Moral and Challenge - Face me with a worthy challenge (with a good answer for "why"), and I am a powerhouse...​

CV - Summary

The Highlights

Mechatronics & Engineering

User-Centered design of systems, embedded and.. well, everything. Human-in-the-Loop, since the user is why we create stuff. Given a system, find its traits and patterns and make it (more) useful, fun to use and efficient. Mechatronics is an "edge", programming and rapid prototyping, embedded systems, RTOS and system engineering.

As a natural leader, the "why" is crucial, along with Way of Work, Agile and other methods.

The Artist and Creator

If given time, and a pen, write a poem

When given a stage, know what to show'em

The endless possibilities to advance.

Life is, indeed, an amazing dance.

 

Given tasks and materials, have skills to exhibit

Creativity - not the sky - is the limit.

Functional Body Maintenance

Personal experience and self studies of nutrition and endocrine processes (thyroid issues, blood sugar etc), training and life style adjustments. Special interest in the counter-intuitive and much needed decoding of the falsified science area of medical practice.

I am all into.. Healing. And coaching too.

Life Coach

Indulging life rudiments, like a cockroach?
Troubled by anything and everything, the survival approach?
Let me help! yours truly is in fact a life coach!

By posing hard questions, and facilitating answers
I may assist you at winning "life cancers"
You may walk alone... Or I amplify your chances.

Experiences

Experience

Looking for the next Challenge...

January 2021 - 

Home office, Eskilstuna, Sweden

Becoming unemployed without any good reason, I've taken courses in leadership, project management, Agile/Lean, Artificial Intelligence basics, Python basics, and other areas.

I am all into making myself useful, so I pick and choose what resonates with my core values.

Doing some Inner work on myself, my competencies and abilities, I surveyed my former colleagues, to assess myself as colleague (very insightful):

  • What are my strong sides, i.e. characteristics, knowledge, skills

  • How should I develop myself, points of improvement

  • What have I contributed

Created a website, designed the graphics, getting fit with various graphics tools like GIMP.

Every day in life is training day, and I don't sit around and waste time.

Mechatronics @ Human Factors & User Experience

January 2019 - December 2020

Eskilstuna, Sweden, and home office

Working on next generations cab design, some ergonomic aspects of HMI parts of today's and tomorrow's machines:
- human interaction strategy (existing machines and future cab)
- sound design for next generation HMI ECU (with buzzer as fallback strategy)
- primary  and secondary controls' concepts, particularly early stage haptic feedback concept investigations
- optimizing Interaction with existing and next gen. HMI for reducing cognitive load.
- cross-functional work with the electronics, front-end development, sound system and connectivity for the future HMI ECU/node.
Make stuff more intuitive and user-friendly - build the box (operator environment) better, easier and safer for operation, by thinking in- and outside the box.

Volvo Construction Equipment

Driveline Control Developer

August 2013 - January 2019

Eskilstuna, Sweden

Volvo Construction Equipment

Transmission control development - articulated haulers (existing and New Articulated Hauler Transmission) and wheel loader (middle range and heavy) transmission.
Development by C-code, with RUBUS real time operating system, and some coding with Matlab Simulink and automatic code generation.
System engineering and diagnostics development and maintenance.
Tweaking and innovation (what right-brainers do best), innovation portal contributions, one pended patent.

Motivated by making the machines smarter and user-friendly (and slightly less traditional).

Calibration engineer, Diesel engine technology

1986-1989

High School

High-school became a necessity with only a few honest challenges.

I was drawn more to hands-on work at that time: the mechanical workshop and the tractors, working with agriculture and machinery, or fixing bikes and scooters (Lambretta, Vespa), or the carting derivative thereof.

Literature was always interesting, languages were a breeze, the technical was to me the centerpiece.

The teachers made it better, or rather (and more often) worse.
