In this position I conduct the initial start up of a new machine and run it through operational testing to verify proper HMI and PLC function and to diagnose and fix electrical, pneumatic, mechanical, and hydraulic bugs. This position also allowed me to work closely with mechanical, electrical, and controls engineers to solve any problems or challenges in meeting our customers specific needs. Since this is a small production facility I also frequently do assembly, as well as machine & panel wiring.
