Summary
Alex Place is a controls engineer with 11 years of hands-on experience in industrial automation and a bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering from RIT, focused on robotics. He has led controls design and PLC programming efforts—primarily using Allen-Bradley—and created electrical schematics and HMIs for complex machine builds in collaboration with mechanical teams. Comfortable both in the shop and onsite at plants, Alex pairs practical assembly and commissioning experience with software skills in C++, Python, and ROS from his robotics projects. He enjoys bringing robots to life and has a track record of turning customer requirements into reliable, production-ready systems. Now based in Brockport, NY, he’s actively pivoting toward more robotics-centric roles where his blend of controls engineering and embedded software can drive autonomous or semi-autonomous solutions.
