Controls design
Develop electrical schematics, I/O lists, and controls documentation around your requirements, drawing standards, and preferred hardware. Coordinate interfaces before they become startup problems.
Project Capacity / For builders & integrators
Extra controls engineering when the project needs it
For machine builders, OEMs, system integrators, and engineering teams with more work than capacity. Bring me in for a defined controls scope, a programming backlog, or a startup window. I work with your lead engineer, standards, and project priorities.

Where I can help
Give me a defined piece of the project
Agree on the requirements, interfaces, and deliverables, then put focused engineering time where your team needs it.
Programming and integration
Build PLC sequences and HMI screens, support robot programming, and integrate vision, motion, and other devices. Work within your code structure and test against the machine requirements.
On-site machine startup
Check I/O, debug machine sequences, and work alongside your startup team. Track issues, resolve controls problems within the assigned scope, and keep changes and program files organized.
Ways to work together
One assignment or an extra set of hands
Defined scope
A deliverable that needs an owner
A drawing package, PLC sequence, HMI application, or integration task. We define the boundaries, required inputs, review points, and what completion looks like.
Overflow support
A team with several projects moving
Extra engineering capacity across your workload. We agree on priorities, keep work aligned with your standards, and make status and open questions visible to your lead.
Commissioning
A startup window that needs help
Hands-on assistance as equipment comes together. Review readiness before the visit, establish responsibilities, and work through the controls punch list with your team.
A practical working relationship
Fit into the project, not around it
- 01 / Analyze
Agree on the assignment
Review the machine requirements, existing work, schedule, and dependencies. Identify the lead contact, required access, and the decisions your team needs to make.
- 02 / Engineer
Work within your standards
Use your hardware preferences, drawing conventions, and programming structure. Review progress at agreed points and flag missing inputs or scope changes early.
- 03 / Commission
Test and hand back cleanly
Verify the agreed functions, record remaining issues, and hand over current drawings, source files, backups, and notes appropriate to the assignment.
You keep the project lead and customer relationship. I provide controls engineering support within the scope we agree on, with clear responsibilities and communication.
Contact
Tell me what the project needs.
Send the scope you'd like covered, the controls platform, the current state of drawings and code, and any test or startup dates. Include the expected on-site location and the standards or deliverables your team needs.
