Shick Esteve builds automation equipment to scale dry ingredients, meter liquid ingredients, and convey the resulting recipe from the ingredient source to the final destination for our customers in the food and beverage industry. I develop PLC and HMI code for Allen-Bradley industrial control products to provide this automation. Responsible for proofing P&ID drawings. Verifying, modifying, and correcting the sequence of operation document for the project and then implementing the solution in the PLC and HMI. Responsible for project on-site controls startup and implementation of the controls for the project at the customer site.

Modified embedded 'C' code to re-purpose an existing project that uses RFID tags, ZigBee wireless network, still camera, cellular modem, and PIC24 processors to create a new application.Developed process control solutions utilizing Allen Bradley PLCs and graphic terminals for the food and pharmaceutical industries.

Created firmware for a remote controlled radio prototype for a customer on an accelerated time schedule.Developed C code for a ZigBee microcontroller to form a wireless remote control for the radio.Used I2C communication protocol to integrate the radio receiver, stereo codec, and the audio line driver to put it all under the control of a microcontroller.

• Worked on the following aviation navigational products: ILS, DME, VOR, GBAS, and ADS-B.• Created and maintained RTCA DO-278 documentation for the ILS, DME, and VOR products.• Developed an airspace simulator using NetBeans C++ on the Ubuntu Linux operating system.• Wrote ATE Toolkit test scripts to automatically execute design qualification tests based on RTCA DO-260B specifications. These test scripts controlled Advance Technical Group (ATG) TTG7000 or an Agilent vector signal generators to create messages and interference patterns. • Used Microsoft Excel VBA macros under test script control to generate SQL commands to collect test results that were used by the test scripts to automatically generate qualification test pass/fail results.• Archived source code changes using Source Safe, Tortoise SVN, and Smart SVN version control tracking software.• Used Jira to track software problem reports.

• Design, code, and test real-time embedded Motorola 6502 assembly code to control hydraulic presses. Utilize a 16 channel digital oscilloscope and a protocol analyzer to troubleshoot problems in the controller.• Responsible for porting assembly code application to a multi-lingual embedded Windows NT based application.• Develop a Windows NT device driver to monitor and control various analog I/O, digital I/O as well as a 4 axis stepper motor controller.• Responsible for using object oriented development (OOD) methods to create and maintain an embedded Windows program to coordinate the device driver activities and provide the application’s user interface.• Used oscilloscope to verify code optimizations for system performance testing.• Communicate the code changes to the technical writer and review the updates to the user manual for accuracy.• Perform field service work as needed to analyze and correct errors in the application at the customer site to provide efficient service.• Archive source code changes using Microsoft Source Safe.

• Developed and maintained software using Microsoft’s Visual C/C++ compiler on a Windows NT platform using Object Oriented Programming (OOP) techniques in a team programming environment.• Integrated custom C code with various software packages and databases to create a fuel control distribution system.• Diagnosed problems with the fuel control system using a debugger and a protocol analyzer.• Utilized a Lantronix terminal server to interface with RS-232 and RS-485 serial peripherals being controlled such as fuel valves, additive injectors, RFID card readers, PLCs, printers, and displays in the field.• Assisted in the development of a data collection system which used Microsoft SQL Server, Sybase, and Oracle for data storage. Powersoft’s Power Builder was utilized for the user interface with Crystal Reports as the reporting package.

• Integrated custom programs with existing software packages to create industrial control systems that provide process and inventory control as well as product tracking.• Developed custom software in C under DOS, OS/2, and IBM AIX operating systems on the IBM PS/2 and R/S 6000 hardware platforms. The custom programs interfaced with Intellution’s DMACS (data aquisition), Informix’s CISAM database (data storage), and Four Season’s Super Nova 4GL (data reporting).• Created control systems using Modicon PLCs and utilized PlantWorks CASE tool to create a user interface.
