Check out my featured projects
Robotic Gripper (FreeCAD)
Designed a parametric robotic gripper in FreeCAD with clean constraints and modular parts for easy iteration. Focused on manufacturability and assembly fit, with geometry set up for quick design changes.
Robot Arm Simulator
Interactive 2D robotic arm simulator with forward and inverse kinematics, motion planning, and a PyQt + Matplotlib GUI.
Heat Transfer Calculator
A Python-based Streamlit app for calculating heat transfer rates across conduction, convection, and radiation scenarios.
Shock Absorber (FreeCAD)
Modeled a shock absorber assembly in FreeCAD, building the main components and interfaces as a coherent mechanism. Emphasis on functional geometry, clear part relationships, and a layout that’s easy to refine later.

Core Engineering Skills
I’m Tobias Sjöblom, a Materials Processing Technology Engineering student at Arcada UAS with a strong hands-on background and a growing focus on automation. I buld and test ideas using CAD/CAE, 3D printing, and programming (C, Python) . And I've worked on Festo CIROS simulations to model and document robotics/automation conecpts.
Earlier roles in municipal maintenance and refurbishment strenghten my practical problem-solving, safety mindset, and attention to quality . I'm now aiming for engineering roles where I can combine materials knowledge with smart design and automation-driven thinking.
CAD Design & Technical Drawings
I build precise 3D CAD models and production-ready drawings, focusing on fit, function, and manufacturability for mechanical components and assemblies.
Additive Manufacturing and Prototyping
I prototype and iterate with 3D printing to validate form, fit, and function-turning concepts into testable parts while considering material use and printability.
Programming & Automation Tools
I write Python and C tools to automate repetitive tasks, process engineering data, and support modeling and design workflows.
Industrial Simulation & Digital Twins
I build and document industrial simulations in Festo CIROS, modeling robot cells with sensors, conveyors, and signal logic. I focus on clear I/O mapping and communication concepts to support training and automation workflows.

Education and practical experience
Turning ideas into reality through design, innovation, and sustainable solutions—one model, print, and line of code at a time.
My education
Materials Processing Technology
Hands-on studies in CAD/CAE, additive manufacturing (3D printing), and programming (Python), combined with sustainable design and materials-focused engineering for efficient mechanical solutions.
Automation Electrician
Foundational studies in electrical installations, industrial automation, and troubleshooting. Building a strong base for control systems, programing, and practical engineer work.
Work experience
Industrial Simulation & Digital Twin Development
Built and documented CIROS simulation projects, including a Niryo Ned2 sorting cell with sensors, conveyor logic, and I/O mapping. Researched and tested communication approaches (e.g. OPC UA / TCP/IP) and produced student-facing setup guides/tutorials material.
City Maintenance Technician
Worked in a field team delivering municipal infrastructure maintenance and inspections. Supported day-to-day planning, problem-solving on site, and safe execution to keep public areas functional and compliant.
Grounds Maintenance Technician
Maintained public outdoor areas and facilities using powered equipment and hand tools. Coordinated with the team to complete tasks efficiently, supporting cleanliness, safety, and seasonal maintenance needs.
Furniture Refurbishment Specialist
Refurbished furniture through repairs, sanding, staining, and painting. Delivered consistent, high-quality finishes across mixed materials (wood, metal, upholstery) with attention to detail.

Feedback on My Skills
Tobias executes his studies with dedication and skill. Noteworthy is his engineering curiosity, and pursuit of advanced experimental projects under his own initiative. This has led him to investigate the chemical durability of additive manufactured nylon composites in high-performance battery systems, which addresses the potential of a modern manufacturing method in a challenging industrial application. Tobias's desire to learn makes him versatile and capable of handling new challenges with enthusiasm and responsibility. I recognize in Tobias the potential to become a professional engineer who will make meaningful impacts.
Tobias Sjöblom is a student at Arcada university of applied sciences and soon completes his bachelor’s degree in Materials Processing Technology programme in Swedish. Currently, he is finalizing his degree thesis for which I am an assigned examiner. I taught Tobias a few courses and noticed his commitment and aspirations for a deeper understanding of science and engineering. He is one of the students who performs better academically. Tobias is a polite, motivated and hardworking individual. Therefore, it is a pleasure that I am writing this recommendation, assuring his knowledge in engineering design and analyses; his skills in CAD, finite element modelling (FEM), and experimental techniques are relevant.
