Summary
Michael Graham is an engineer-owner based in Portland, Oregon with eight years of hands-on experience blending automation software, controls, and mechanical design. He builds turnkey control systems—programming PLCs, industrial PCs, Raspberry Pis, and embedded devices—while also designing custom hardware and PCBs, drawing on a background in machining, 3D printing, injection molding, and GD&T-driven CAD. At Ichor Systems he develops signal processing, data acquisition, and user-facing control solutions for high-precision semiconductor equipment, and his contract R&D work helped bring HP’s Multi Jet Fusion 3D printing components from prototype to production. A lifelong DIYer and creator of EngineerDog.com, he pairs a vigorous work ethic and creative problem-solving with formal engineering practices like DFM, structured BOMs, and document control. Comfortable across embedded C, Python, and IEC 61131-3 Structured Text, he thrives on turning complex systems into simple, reliable user experiences.
