WORK HISTORY
Electrical Engineer @Country Style Foods
Based within a high-speed FMCG production environment, working across electrical engineering, automation and machine vision, combining shift-based fault finding with project and development work.Technical responsibilities include:• Machine vision — deployment, commissioning and optimisation of Keyence inspection systems in live production• PLC fault diagnosis and programming across [Siemens/Beckhoff/CODESYS]• Electrical fault finding and panel work under time-critical production conditions• Automation improvements — identifying and implementing solutions to reduce downtime and improve line efficiency• Project delivery — taking automation and vision projects from initial scope through to live deploymentWorking in a live FMCG environment has built a strong foundation in fault diagnosis under pressure, production awareness and the practical realities of deploying automation into running facilities.
ABOUT SAMUEL SMITH
I design and deliver end-to-end engineering solutions that integrate machine vision, deep learning, PLC controls, electrical, and mechanical systems to improve production efficiency, reduce defects, and lower operational costs.Across FMCG and manufacturing environments, I’ve taken projects from initial concept to live deployment, combining software, controls, and electrical expertise within a single scope, from developing custom vision algorithms and AI inspection systems, to programming PLCs, designing electrical panels, and commissioning machinery on site. This allows me to deliver solutions faster, with fewer errors, and measurable ROI.Experience includes:Machine Vision & AI: Keyence, Matrox, Python, PyTorch, OpenCV, custom C++ algorithmsPLC & Controls: Siemens, Beckhoff TwinCAT, CODESYSElectrical & Mechanical: Panel design, fault finding, Electrical CAD pneumatics & hydraulics, site commissioningProject Delivery: Stakeholder management, system architecture, FAT/SAT, handoverOpen to contract, consulting, and senior permanent roles across the UK, helping organisations deploy high-impact, multi-disciplinary engineering solutions.
