  • Proven ability to lead, train, and mentor less experienced automation engineers.

  • Proficiency in RSLogix5000 Studio, FT View, and other controls software, with experience in controls design and systems integration.
  • Ability to interpret, modify, and develop mechanical and electrical drawings.
