Canton, MA, US

Burlington, Massachusetts, US

Developed and optimized the automation system for production machines used in the first phase of Alloy's Stack Forging process, which is a significant departure from traditional additive manufacturing methodologies, resulting in aluminum parts with excellent material properties, extremely low porosity, and complex internal geometries.- Redesigned the.

Devens, Massachusetts, US

Lead the technical development of control systems for proprietary industrial scale laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) additive manufacturing equipment.- Guided and mentored a team of control systems engineers in the design, build, and commissioning of equipment in a fast-paced environment with an ever-changing list of requirements.- Participated in the.

Responsible for steering the overall technical direction of automation solutions in support of 1366 Tech's novel Direct Wafer manufacturing process. This process produced Silicon wafers for PV applications one at a time (as opposed to diamond-wire cut ingots) in order to reduce waste and improve cell efficiency through significantly tighter control of key.

Managed the team responsible for all aspects of automation and controls related to in-house and contract designed equipment.- Led the development and ongoing refinement of control systems for the third generation Direct Wafer manufacturing platform and related equipment, focusing on increased wafer yield, lower equipment cost, and improved.

Responsible for the architecture, design, and implementation of machine control systems and software supporting a novel approach for creating an etched honeycomb-patterned silicon wafer surface texture aimed at reducing reflectivity and increasing cell efficiency.- Developed numerous machine control systems based on Mitsubishi and B&R automation platforms.

Cincinnati, Ohio, US

Focused on the design of vision/quality inspection and HMI systems used on manufacturing equipment in Gillette production facilities worldwide.- Introduced Microsoft.NET/C# and OPC as a replacement for existing commercially licensed tag-based SCADA/HMI applications. This approach was quickly accepted as the standard for all new equipment.- Developed vision.

Ch-8200 Schaffhausen, CH

Responsible for all phases of the design/build of custom control systems for precision high-speed connector assembly equipment used across AMP factories.- Designed multiple high-speed multi-axis servo applications using Microsoft C and DeltaTau PMAC controllers running on a commercial real-time operating system kernel.- Developed and deployed AMP's first.

Pittsburgh, PA, US

Supported control systems across 13 production lines which converted PPG plate glass into tempered back and side windows for a variety of GM cars. Technology ranging from discrete relay logic to Modicon PLCs and FANUC robotics.
