Jacob Shukri

• Designed and built electrical systems for electric vehicle (EV) testing and infrastructure, including both low- and medium-voltage systems for major automotive OEMs.
• Developed and interpreted PLC wiring diagrams and drive interface schematics (e.g., PowerFlex) to ensure proper communication between control components and field devices.
• Engineered protection and automation systems using SEL-751 and SEL-735 relays, Allen-Bradley PLCs, and Siemens controls for real-time monitoring, safety, and equipment control.
• Managed battery testing operations at General Motors' Warren facility, supporting test execution and contributing to battery system improvements.
• Created system layouts and test configurations using AutoCAD, incorporating changes and generating final “as-built” documentation.
• Performed functional and insulation testing on system components, including hi-pot tests up to 80kV.
• Programmed and calibrated meters and control devices to meet system-specific operational targets.
• Conducted final mechanical and electrical inspections before shipment, verifying full compliance with performance, safety, and customer specifications.
• Compiled complete documentation packages: wiring diagrams, bills of materials (BOMs), manuals, and spare parts lists.
• Drove continuous improvement initiatives to enhance system reliability, testing accuracy, and facility workflow.
• Diagnosed machine and electrical system behavior using testing equipment to resolve technical issues.

Key Projects:

• Ford Livonia: Led test and debug of transmission systems, validating torque, safety, and communication control logic.
• General Motors Warren Facility: Conducted EV battery testing and provided ongoing technical support to improve testing systems and customer deliverables.

• Designed and commissioned automated assembly stations for Tier 1 automotive production, integrating Atlas Copco torque tools, barcode scanners, and in-position sensors using Allen-Bradley PLCs and EtherNet/IP communication
• Supported and configured AGV (Automated Guided Vehicle) systems for material handling and manifest tracking, integrating with HMI for live status updates and diagnostics
• Maintained and troubleshot the shipping system, controlled through Allen-Bradley PLCs and PowerFlex variable frequency drives (VFDs) for conveyor and elevator operation
• Set up and maintained EtherNet/IP networks, ensuring reliable device communication and system synchronization
• Programmed and debugged control and safety logic using Siemens TIA Portal, Proneta, RoboteQ, and Safety Designer
• Delivered preventive maintenance and real-time fault resolution to improve uptime and production throughput
• Worked as a Tier 1 supplier for Chrysler, providing reliable control solutions for dashboard assembly systems
  Key Project:
• Ford Dearborn Engine Plant – Worked directly on-site to support AGV-enabled assembly lines, troubleshoot automation faults, and improve system response and reliability

• Began as an intern in late 2019 and transitioned to full-time engineer in 2021 after completing degree, steadily taking on greater responsibilities in large-scale electrical design projects
• Designed conduit layouts, cable tray systems, and lighting plans using Revit, ensuring adherence to electrical codes and project specifications
• Performed advanced load calculations and conduit sizing using SKM Power Tools to optimize electrical distribution efficiency and capacity
• Reviewed construction documents, resolved field issues, and collaborated with project managers to maintain timelines and meet quality standards
  Key Projects:
• General Motors Factory Zero (Detroit): Designed and implemented electrical infrastructure for new facilities, including main power distribution, lighting, and equipment feeds for advanced manufacturing operations
• Ford Dearborn: Led a power upgrade project that involved adding new receptacles, lighting circuits, and enhancing distribution capacity to support evolving production demands
• Ford Livonia: Upgraded electrical systems by redesigning lighting layouts, replacing panels, and improving overall electrical infrastructure with modernized standards
