To Whom It May Concern:
I am a systems integrator/automation expert specializing in total factory
automation. English is my primary language and I speak Spanish and German
(although it has been 20 years since I have used German). I am willing to
locate to just about any location (or country but I would need to have per
diem with wages). Wages are negotiable, and I don't mind traveling.
I have designed and installed industrial process and control systems for
those companies looking for that competitive edge in their specific
manufacturing arena. I have collectively designed and installed control
systems for the following applications:
Batch Processes, Data Acquisition, Continuous Processes, Machine
Control, Chemical Processes, Packaging Control Systems, Recipe
Operations, Waste Control Systems, Robotic Interfaces, Conveyor
Control, Telecommunications Interface, Positioning Systems, Servo
Motor Control, Injection Molding Operations, Material Handling
Systems, and Radio Controlled Operations.
In order to understand my qualifications I have included a detailed list of
skills and projects that I have completed. Although it is not exhaustive
it is extensive. If you would like to contact me, for any reason, please
do so at the e-mail address provided above or call me. Thank you for your
time.
Sincerely,
