Controls Engineer
General Motors, Warren, MI Mar 1999 – June 2005
As a controls engineer I designed and installed controls systems for automotive assembly plants. At points this included doing all the work myself, and at other points I managed contract employees to perform all the tasks. The type of systems I designed were: Power Distribution, Operator Safety Circuits (hardware and safety PLC), pneumatic power and pneumatic controls, hydraulic power, sensor and communication networks, robot and other hardware interlocks. Various types of automation lines that I have experience with are: robotic spot welding applications, robotic dispense applications, conveyor lines with Allen Bradley motor controllers, robotic based vision systems, operator load stations with robotic interface, operator inspection stations. Most of my projects have been full lifecycle. I started with gathering requirements from the customer and from the mechanical designers, I then designed the entire control system package, then got competitive quotes for the panels. During the installation process I was on site to manage the build and ensure all installation standards were being met. On power up I began the installation of the software, configuration of all networks and debug of the system. On the safety side, I worked with plant and corporate safety to obtain buyoff, and on the operational side I worked with plant trades and engineers to get the system to line speed and obtain plant buyoff. After the system was running I created a training package for the trades and operators, and ran classes to teach them the operation of the system and how to handle any issues.
I have extensive experience with the following platforms: Allen-Bradley PLCs (PLC-5, SLC, ControlLogix, GuardLogix), ControlNet, DeviceNet, EtherNet/IP, Allen-Bradley PanelView and Siemens Simatic HMI’s, AutoCad, Allen-Bradley ArmorStart.
