I offer over 19 years + experience where I have become an expert in automated system, design/test/installation/commissioning. In my career I have had the opportunity to work for several of the big names in system integration/revamp/support, GE, AEG, Danieli, and Siemens. I ran my own S-corp as a Sr. electrical/controls engineering consultant. I have experience (configure/program) with most of the main control systems Allen Bradley, GE, Modicon, Toshiba, Siemens, Cimplicity ... I have experience with various networks Ethernet, Profibus, Genius bus, Modbus. I have gained extensive control and applications experience with robotics (Puma, Motoman, Adept ), PLC, HMI, PC, Drive control ..... I have a broad knowledge of varied types of control components; laser, infrared, LDT, encoders, drives, servo & stepper motors, hydraulic & pneumatic systems. As lead, PM or senior support on most of the projects over the last 15 years I have become proficient at making these systems work with a time line and budget in mind. In base I have spent my career working for the top integrators in full system support.
I just completed a “Logix5000 level 1 ControlLogix fundamentals and troubleshooting†course with Mosebach Electric in Pittsburgh. This is a 4.5 day class which brings me up to speed with the Logix5000/ControlLogix.
My interest is to join an organization where these skills will enable me to make solid contributions to the company's growth and profitability while providing me with stability and challenge. I am in hopes that your company fits that description and I would appreciate an opportunity to discuss how my qualifications might match your current or future needs.
Sincerely,
Curtis Deitrick
