Senior Industrial Automation and Process Control Engineer

I lead the operational and technical management of the Process Control System (PCS) at a continuous-process plant, focusing on operational continuity, asset availability, process stability, and production efficiency.

I manage and integrate DCS/SCADA systems, industrial networks, and advanced control logic to optimize critical process variables, thermal efficiency, energy consumption, and clinker factor. I also lead automation, continuous improvement, and asset digitalization projects, including RFID/GPS traceability solutions and auxiliary-system automation.

I coordinate CAPEX/OPEX projects from technical definition through supplier management, execution, and commissioning. I work cross-functionally with Maintenance, Production, Quality, and HSE teams to achieve global KPIs, safety standards, and reliable plant operations.

I was responsible for designing and implementing improvements to automotive production processes across assembly and welding lines.

I increased assembly-line efficiency by 18% through control-logic improvements and automated-station synchronization, while reducing equipment downtime by 15% through PLC logic adjustments and HMI improvements.

I managed end-to-end industrial automation projects, including requirements definition, technical specifications, supplier supervision, execution, and commissioning. I also developed CAPEX budgets, ROI analyses, and technical feasibility studies while coordinating with Production, Maintenance, Quality, and Safety teams.

I led a team of 12 technicians responsible for preventive, corrective, and predictive maintenance of automotive-parts production machinery.

I increased OEE by 10% by implementing maintenance plans based on equipment criticality. I also reduced downtime on critical machinery by 25% through redesigned preventive and predictive maintenance strategies based on historical data and failure analysis.

I developed team capabilities through training in fault diagnosis, electrical safety, PLC programming, and HMI tools. I improved maintenance-management visibility through technical reports, performance indicators, and continuous-improvement proposals.

I reduced fault-diagnosis times by 30% by applying advanced diagnostic methodologies to electrical, pneumatic, and logic systems.

I designed and programmed Siemens PLC control routines for critical production-line machinery. I also collaborated with technology vendors on equipment and software upgrades to improve compatibility and data traceability.

I participated in automation projects for assembly lines, programming PLCs and developing HMI interfaces from scratch for automotive and industrial customers.

I contributed to electrical panel assembly, commissioning, and functional validation of automated systems. I also prepared technical project documentation, including electrical drawings, operating manuals, and validation protocols.

I supported assembly-line automation projects through PLC programming and HMI interface development for automotive and industrial clients.

I participated in electrical panel assembly, commissioning, and functional validation of automated systems. I also prepared electrical drawings, operating manuals, validation protocols, and other technical documentation.
