Sr. Industrial Automation and Controls Engineer - Industrial Controls and IIoT

Engineer charged with managing large-scale projects ranging from high precision large structure joining tools to enterprise wide smart manufacturing devices and frameworks. 

Originally, acting as New Glenn's GS2 Manufacturing and Technology team’s sole Controls and Automation SME across both stages, I developed standards used by the teams for inclusion in statements of work to maintain consistently high standards for tooling and equipment. Additionally provided key insights to identify and mitigate design, process, and program risks. 

Later, I changed roles to an Enterprise Technology team to rapidly develop and deploy solutions to address short-term production challenges through applied use of Smart Manufacturing technologies and concepts.
