I'm an electrical controls engineer for a company that builds plastic processing machinery - continuous extrusion blowmolding, accumulator head blowmolders, injection blow molders, stand-alone extruders,and support equipment. Before the year 2000 I was in our metal cutting division, so our customers were more automotive related. I was very happy to leave that behind and get into plastics, except that it tends to be a pretty low-dollar business at times.
I love doing controls engineering. Making things move is fun, and I get paid for it! Been doing it for 34 years come April 6.
You're fortunate to work from home!
