Summary
I have been in the Automotive industry for a little under six years. I understand how the entire automation system works from mechanical, to pipe and electrical as well as now PLC and Controls. I started off in the tool crib and have about five years experience as a pipefitter and one year of mechanical. In my time as a pipefitter/mechanical I've helped automate, simulate entire lines or systems that were bought off by customers like Ford, GM, & Stellantis.
