PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE
2007 – Present Gloucester Engineering CO., Inc., Gloucester, MA
Electrical Engineer, Winders group
• Develops ideas for the following: the improvement of the film winders control systems design, obsolete equipment upgrades, and new designs, such as the use of a new generation of PLC, an LCD based HMI, ETHERNET communication, and a distributed IO system
• Designs control system for a new on the world market center/surface reversible double station blown film winder, including schematics, machine layouts, panel layouts, cable layouts, parts lists, control system software development, and full system integration; uses Yaskawa MP2300Siec motion controller, Phoenix distributed IO, ETHERNET communications to drives, and HMI resulting in less wiring, assembly time reduction, and a more compact and cost effective design
• Develops software for the Automatic Re-core Station for a new multi turret stretch film winder generation, resulting in a time reduction for unloading film rolls and loading empty cores, which is otherwise unachievable in manual operation
• Modifies PLC and HMI software for winder control systems, providing a wider variety of features to meet customers demands
• Performs Allen Bradley PLC 5 to SLC 500 programs conversion and SLC 500 to Logix-based CompactLogix programs conversion for the winder control systems upgrade
• Converts older PLC and HMI software to upgrade to the latest generation of Allen Bradley HMI
• Redesigns the winder control systems from 110VAC control to 24VDC control
• Generates I/O list for programming
• Creates and reviews technical specifications for machine functions
• Provides technical support to test technicians, field engineers, and customers
2006 – 2007 Robert Reiser & Co., Inc., Canton, MA
Packaging machine Technician
• Assembled and started-up new packaging machines, troubleshot and repaired installed machines, rebuilt and tuned used machines, updated obsolete machines, including pneumatics, hydraulics, AC/DC motor control, servos, PLCs, HMI and basic electronics
2005 – 2006 Gym Service, Staten Island, N.Y.
Technician
• Installed, maintained, repaired, and reconditioned fitness equipment
1997 – 2005 Automated Systems and Complexes, Yekaterinburg, Russia
Design Engineer, Department of Public Electric Transport
• Designed, prototyped, and tested the first digital AC drive for trolley buses in Russia, which brought a new competitive product to the market
• Modernized AC drives for streetcar trucks on the base of a new generation Semikron IGBT and Texas Instruments DSP
• Modernized an automatic control system for streetcars on the base of an Octagon micro PC controller, resulting in smaller, lighter, more reliable, and more user-friendly equipment, along with broader diagnostic possibilities and a 30 % cost-reduction
• Designed, prototyped, and tested the first PLC based automatic-control system for streetcars and the first digital AC drive for streetcar trucks in Russia, which provided lighter-weight, more reliable, and more cost-effective equipment
• Developed the test guide for commissioning streetcar control system, wrote the operating instruction for the automatic-control system of streetcars, wrote the manual for integrated maintenance-tool, and the troubleshooting guide, all of which reduced maintenance downtime
• Provided technical guide for streetcar manufacturing technicians, created technical presentations to support the new streetcar control system and traction AC drive design
1980 – 1997 UCHMA Engineering, Yekaterinburg, Russia
Design Engineer
• Designed a velocity control system for a cold multiple-stand rolling mill, speeding up the rolling process, greatly reducing track tear, and greatly increasing production quality
• Designed an automatic thickness-control system for one-stand reverse cold strip mill and created the system manual
• Modeled and designed the first contactless sensor for metal-strip welding joints in the world and developed an automated system which tracked welding joints through the processing line
• Designed the best automated control system in the industry for a roll grinding machine
• Advised and instructed plant personnel in the operating, troubleshooting, and maintenance of equipment
• Designed electronic generic modules for industrial automated control systems
• Modeled new electronic modules for industrial automated control systems
• Created an electronic modules test program
• Constructed stands for testing electronic modules
• Tested analog and digital electronic modules for integrated automated control systems
