PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE

KELLER TECHNOLOGY CORPORATION, Huntersville, NC 2009-Present

Electrical Engineer (2009-2010)

Troubleshoot automated machines during assembly and after they are assembled. Ensure the machines are producing product to the customer’s specifications. Write Allen Bradley micrologix PLC code for small devices.

INGERSOLL-RAND, Davidson, NC 2004-2009

Test Engineer (2007-2009)

Tested all electronic equipment and motors to the specifications that were identified within the data sheets, followed-up with a detailed report of the results. Organized FMEA meetings on new product development, and warranty work issues.

• Supported new product development by contributing new ideas to cycle/operate machines or components at different duty cycles, time rates, pressures and volts/currents. This was done with the use of timers, counters, and PLC’s by changing the machine and demand’s set point.

• Developed test procedures for all electronic controllers used within the lab before released to production.

• Supported the lab department’s budget for its new product development goals by providing test plans and schedules.

• Performed reliability testing on products to reduce “Warranty Work”.

• Tested Motors and variable frequency drives to the current/voltage threshold at which they were specified to operate without interruption.

• Guided 8 lab techs and answered different questions on connecting instrumentation to equipment.

Controls Integration Engineer (2005-2007)

Provided expert product technical support through all audit, pre-sale, system commissioning and post-sale phases of solutions delivery. Primary emphasis was on automation systems for complete compressed air systems.

• Designed circuits that illustrated how to integrate Ingersoll-Rand compressor controls with competitor’s compressors.

• Participated in a department team, which integrated a variable frequency drive to a compressor motor.

• Involved in pre-sale system design consultation, special order evaluations, field service assistance, on-site system commissioning and system tuning.

• Played a key role in identifying and converting customer needs into product opportunities for company.

• Aided field personnel in troubleshooting and tuning variable frequency drives.

Application Engineer (2004-2005)

Main responsibility was to perform load studies and determine the generator and switchgear needed to meet the customer’s requirements.

• Prepared detailed technical proposals for internal and external customers.

• Facilitated problem solving and/or routing of special application requests relative to the application of standby industrial generators and ancillary items in order to meet the customers’ requirements.

MICHELIN AIRCRAFT TIRE CORPORATION, Charlotte, NC 2002-2004

Maintenance Engineer

Managed and maintained all tire testing machinery within the facility to reduce downtime and ensure that all equipment was operating within tolerance.

• Diagnosed, repaired and maintained all testing equipment in the facility. This includes a variety of analog/digital instrumentation controls and GE Fanuc PLC systems that operate the testing equipment.

• Designed and installed a system that would stop a rotating tire at a pre-set location. This was accomplished through PLC code, an electric brake, Inductive pickup and a ring with eight holes equally spaced apart.

• Scheduled and performed calibrations, repair and documentation on all data reporting instruments.

• Managed the maintenance function at this testing facility. This involved supervision of personnel, purchasing parts and over 5 million dollars worth of equipment and scheduling of maintenance to limit possible downtime of the facility.

Neptune Technology Group, Tallassee, AL 2002-2002

Manufacturing Engineer

Ensured a scheduled number of quality products were produced on time. Managed the implementation of automated equipment that increases production and reduces ergo hazards.

• Troubleshot all equipment to reduce downtime and increase quality.

• Evaluated and installed two sonic welders.

• Designed plates to carry multiple products through wave solder machine and through a functional test bed.

PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT

• Completed FE Exam, Auburn University, 2002

• On-site Power Generation System Course, EGSA “Electrical Generating System Association”, December 2004.

• Patent Disclosure Award for Automatic Defrost Cycle of an Air Dryer in a Compressed Air System, December 2006

• Machine Safety Seminar, Rockwell Automation, August 2008.

• FMEA Investigator, Quality Training Portal Resource Engineering, Inc., May 2008.

• Refrigerant Transition and Recovery Certification, Universal, March 2000

• Fundamentals of Successful Project Management, Skill Path Seminars, February 2006.
