  • Demonstrated ability to analyze electrical circuits, automation controls, and PLC-driven equipment.

  • Strong understanding of electrical theory, industrial controls, and automated manufacturing processes.
  • Hands-on experience troubleshooting and making basic modifications to PLC platforms (e.g., Siemens, Allen-Bradley, or similar).
  • Ability to read and interpret electrical schematics, blueprints, and technical documentation.
