Jon G.

I help manufacturing companies design, integrate, and optimize custom machines and automation systems that solve complex challenges and improve efficiency and reliability. With expertise spanning SolidWorks 3D CAD, FEA analysis, and PLC-based controls, I deliver solutions that perform in demanding production environments. With over 10 years of mechanical engineering experience, I bring a unique blend of mechanical design, controls integration, and electronics expertise to deliver complete solutions: Mechanical Design & Analysis: SolidWorks 3D CAD, FEA simulations, GD&T, and Vault file management. Controls & Electronics: AutoCAD Electrical for schematics and panel layout, KiCAD PCB design, integration with PLCs (Allen-Bradley, Yaskawa, IEC 61131 platforms), safety circuitry, waterproof enclosures and connection solutions. Software & Automation: PLC programming (including Allen-Bradley, Yaskawa, IEC 61131 platforms), Ladder Logic, LabVIEW, C++ and Arduino IDE based, Servo and Stepper Motion Control Systems, and VFDs. Whether you need a new machine concept, optimization of an existing system, or troubleshooting of mechanical/electrical issues, I can help you achieve: Faster product and equipment development cycles Reduced downtime and maintenance Designs ready for manufacturing and field conditions I look forward to partnering with you to bring your project from concept to reality.
