Automation & Controls Engineer with 7+ years driving reliable PLC/HMI integrations and measurable process improvements.
What I'm looking for
I’m a mechatronics/automation professional with 7+ years of hands-on experience in industrial automation, controls, and system integration across automotive, plastics, chemical, and electronics manufacturing. I design and deploy PLC/HMI solutions, optimize control sequences, and execute Management of Change to improve reliability, reduce errors, and increase process efficiency.
In my current role, I program and optimize PlantPAx / FactoryTalk View SE/ME controls and engineered an in-house loss-in-weight dosing system that cut implementation cost by ~50% while improving troubleshooting visibility and system reliability. Previously, I led projects to revive an idle robotic welding line for a 30% output increase, built an in-house connector continuity tester with an ~80% cost reduction, and resolved a Cognex vision failure mode to improve scrap performance—backed by strong cross-functional leadership and continuous improvement.
