Job Description & How to Apply Below
You walk the production floor with a laptop on one arm and a meter in the other. A line pauses—an unexpected fault. You dive into ladder logic on an Allen‑Bradley controller, trace an input from a photoeye through the program, confirm the sensor, and have the line humming again. Before lunch, you push a small controls improvement to shave seconds off a cycle.
Later, you commission a new panel, update drawings, and align with maintenance on a preventive check.

Get to the root of electrical and PLC issues on machines and restore operation quickly
Program, edit, and optimize Allen‑Bradley PLCs to enhance performance
Diagnose electrical faults on production equipment using solid troubleshooting methods
Dig into HMI and broader control system problems to resolve operator-impacting issues
