Controls Engineering Intern

Jubilant HollisterStier

Internship, Spokane, WA

What I worked on

Prototyped Line 2 SCADA screens in AVEVA InTouch HMI around what each role needs to decide, surfacing KPI numbers, production timelines, and alarms instead of burying them.
Cut routine metric lookups from nine clicks to three — timed the original path, tested the new one, retested.
Built prototype dashboards split by role so a line worker and a manager each get a view built for their work rather than a shared compromise.
Built a Microsoft Copilot Studio agent retrieving and summarizing 20+ One Point Lessons, reducing document retrieval from an average of seven clicks to a single query, with explicit no-answer fallbacks.
Integrated historian data from Allen-Bradley and Siemens PLCs, deployed software on FacilityPro, and supported controls engineers on legacy manufacturing lines.
