Jan 2025 – Present ### Controls Software Engineer II @ Fives Intralogistics Corp. Jan 2023 – Jan 2025 ### Controls Engineer I @ BEUMER Group Jan 2019 – Jan 2023 • Program custom features and improvements to the sortation systems from scratch on Allen Bradley and Siemens TIA Portal. • Work large scale extremely time-sensitive parcel sortation system projects, assign tasks to Junior Controls Engineers in my team, and keep track of utilization hours to ensure profitability and timely project completion. • Understand electrical schematics, mechanical layouts, and customer requirements to develop Allen-Bradley or Siemens PLC programs for high-speed parcel sortation systems and conveyors. • Led SCADA design on FactoryTalkView SE and ME for a sortation system developed for FedEx Express, which had great scalability, diagnostics, and remote alarm surveillance, enabling FedEx to troubleshoot and maintain the system efficiently with low downtime. • Work with electrical engineers and software developers to define I/O addressing, wiring, networking, and communication interfaces between field devices, PLCs, and PCs. • Perform on-site commissioning, integrate sortation system with WCS and external vendor equipment (Caljans, Feeding Conveyors), and conduct SAT/FAT testing. • Perform standby support to troubleshoot and fix issues in high-stress situations to minimize downtime. • Worked on developing the Festo gantry robot for implementation on the Beumer Singulators to make the sorter completely autonomous. ### Graduate Teaching Assistant @ New Jersey Institute of Technology Jan 2018 – Jan 2018 | Newark, NJ • Taught an undergraduate level class, concepts on PLC programming and automation using Siemens PLCs and IDEC controllers. • Evaluated projects, reports and helped the professor conduct lab experiments at the graduate and undergraduate levels. • Helped students understand and build on basic concepts of PLCs, fundamental mathematics techniques, and how they function in modern machine controls. ### Junior Automation and Controls Systems Engineering Intern @ American Water/ICA engineering Jan 2018 – Jan 2018 | Plainfield, NJ • Developed SCADA screens for eight water treatment plants using GE Proficy and ICONICS GraphWorx, which also had a remote control, enabling continuous operation without the need for an operator to be on-site always. Resulting in the 24/7 functionality of the plant. • Integrated and programmed Allen Bradley PLCs for automated water treatment and developed SCADA systems for water distribution systems in Upstate NY and Maryland. • Worked on Allen Bradley PLCs for testing SCADA screens for advanced machine control and functionality based on requirements for the various water treatment plants. ### Engineering Intern @ Siemens Jan 2016 – Jan 2017 | Mumbai Area, India • Led the troubleshooting of a contactor upgrade by developing a control system for the riveting process by installing 4/3 DCVs and counter balance valves to a four-pillar double cylinder hydraulic riveting press, allowing the company to economize on purchasing new machines and developing an in-house innovation. • Redesigned the layout (on AutoCAD) of a solder automat to increase its efficiency by removing the unused stations and installing a soldering station for a quicker process cycle, which resulted in 46% lesser downtime and 24% increase in the overall machine productivity • Improvised a layout (on AutoCAD) for the assembly of a new desiccant dryer of higher capacity to replace the older one with minimal adjustment in the former piping layout, saving the company $1400 if replaced entirely. • Detected a safety concern while machine servicing and maintenance consequently instigated a lockout system to improve operational safety at the machines in the department, eliminating the possibilities of a mishap. ## Education ### Master's degree in Manufacturing Systems Engineering New Jersey Institute of Technology ### Bachelor's degree in Production Engineering University of Mumbai ## Contact & Social - LinkedIn: https://linkedin.com/in/mustafa-painter-09203b152 - Website: https://mustafapainter.weebly.com/ --- Source: https://flows.cv/mustafapainter JSON Resume: https://flows.cv/mustafapainter/resume.json Last updated: 2026-04-01
