Professional Summary
Controls and automation engineer with 4+ years programming Allen-Bradley PLCs, commissioning Fanuc robots, and deploying HMI/SCADA systems in high-volume manufacturing. Owns projects end to end — from control design and panel wiring through commissioning and operator handoff — with a proven record of improving line uptime and reducing manual labor.
Experience
- Develop, modify, and maintain Allen-Bradley PLC ladder logic and function-block routines in Studio 5000 / Logix5000 for high-volume lines, mapping I/O and updating control sequences for new products and process changes.
- Program and tune Fanuc robots in packaging and material-handling cells — teaching TP points, refining motion paths, and optimizing cycle times; robotic integration reduced manual labor by ~35%.
- Design FactoryTalk View HMI/SCADA screens, alarm logic, and tag databases so operators can run and diagnose the line without engineering support.
- Respond to live line faults and unplanned downtime, tracing issues across PLC I/O, sensors, VFDs, and control wiring; systematic fault resolution raised line uptime by ~20%.
- Own automation projects end to end, leading technicians and maintenance staff through control design, panel wiring, programming, commissioning, and operator handoff.
- Installed, commissioned, and serviced automated waterjet cutting systems at customer sites, bringing new machines from crate to full production.
- Commissioned Fanuc robots and Allen-Bradley PLCs — loading and verifying programs, checking I/O, setting robot frames and points, and validating safety interlocks before customer sign-off.
- Wired control panels and field devices and configured VFDs, setting drive parameters and tuning motors for new-machine setup and retrofits.
- Interpreted electrical schematics and machine drawings to trace faults, verify installations, and confirm systems ran to specification; documented commissioning checklists and troubleshooting steps.
- Maintained and supported POS and automation systems across retail and manufacturing environments, building hands-on controls and troubleshooting skills.
