Zachary Skidmore

At PowerBuilt, I design operator-controlled material-handling solutions for industrial automation and automotive applications, taking designs through customer approvals, design buyoff, and factory acceptance testing.

I create SolidWorks models and build-to-print drawings, bills of material, spare-parts lists, and pneumatic schematics. I also perform cycle-time, strength-of-materials, and factor-of-safety calculations while supporting fabrication and assembly teams with manufacturability improvements and troubleshooting.

Previously at ATS Ohio, I designed automation, assembly, material-flow, and handling equipment for multiple Fortune 100 customers. I worked across project management, procurement, electrical and controls engineering, technical writing, vendors, and assembly technicians to deliver high-quality equipment.

My earlier quality engineering work at Pilkington included production-equipment planning, aftermarket glass quality control, ADAS calibration product manuals, and new-product development research. I bring a practical focus on documentation, reliability, standards, operator safety, and effective cross-functional collaboration.
