Zachary Schneider
@zacharyschneider
I design, commission, and troubleshoot industrial electrical control systems.
What I'm looking for
I'm currently commissioning automated systems at SAMCO Technologies, from construction through performance testing. I install, calibrate, and troubleshoot instrumentation while making PLC/HMI updates and resolving industrial network issues.
Previously at SAMCO, I designed one-line diagrams, power distribution systems, VFD and motor starter panels, control panels, junction boxes, conduit systems, and network architectures. I also managed electrical documentation, specifications, data sheets, vendor quotes, revisions, and PLC/I/O quality checks.
At Calspan Test Services, I automated everyday processes with Python, maintained existing code, researched sensors and equipment, and worked directly with data acquisition systems and test equipment. I also repaired, certified, and calibrated crash test dummies while using LabVIEW calibration rigs and updating CAD drawings.
I'm looking for a position that progresses my career path and technical skills in electrical, controls, and automation work.
