Electronics Engineer & CEO, StepTech LLC | Full-Stack Product Development & Manufacturing Specialist I'm an accomplished Electronics Engineer with over 7 years of experience, and as the CEO of StepTech LLC, I specialize in guiding professional commercial products from initial conception to successful production. My business is built on delivering innovative, manufacturable electronic solutions for a diverse client base across medical, pharmaceutical, and entertainment industries. My expertise covers the entire product development lifecycle, bridging the gap between hardware and software. I excel at Product Design and Development, translating client visions into tangible solutions through advanced 3D printing (including industrial-grade FDM and 12k resin capabilities) for rapid, high-fidelity prototyping and user feedback integration. I also have an in house CNC machine for metal and delrin part creation. In Hardware Engineering, I possess a strong understanding of components, proficiently manage Bills of Materials (BOMs), generate production-ready Gerber files, and employ precision SMD soldering techniques. My Software Development skills enable me to create user-friendly and intuitive applications that seamlessly integrate with custom hardware. I am dedicated to exceeding expectations by delivering projects efficiently and effectively. My commitment to clear, consistent communication ensures a collaborative and successful partnership, from concept validation through to market readiness.

My name is Jesse Zipf, founder of ForgeWorx Automation. With over 15 years of experience across the medical, industrial, and safety sectors, I provide the high-level engineering of a Tier-1 firm with the agility and cost-efficiency of a dedicated consultant. From Penn State roots to real-world installations, I specialize in bridging the gap between a conceptual "napkin sketch" and a fully functioning production floor. Whether you need a critical PLC bug fixed today or a ground-up robotic cell designed for next year, I deliver industrial-grade solutions without the corporate overhead. Core Competencies: PLC Programming & Troubleshooting: Expert-level logic for complex manufacturing. Full System Design: Electrical, mechanical, and control systems from scratch. CAD & Prototyping: Single-part modeling to massive assembly designs in SolidWorks. Robotics Integration: Programming and hardware implementation. Consulting: Strategic guidance for DIY teams needing professional validation. I don’t just write code; I build systems that work. Let’s discuss your project and get your facility running at peak efficiency.

Hello! I'm here to help you with your PLC and HMI programming - specifically Automation Direct's line of PLCs (Direct Logic, CLICK, Productivity, Koyo, Do-More, etc.) and HMIs (C-More) and VFDs (GS4, IronHorse, GS20, etc.). I have fully licensed versions of their programming software, including DirectSoft 6 as well. I can additionally program PLCs like Schneider Zelio and M221 / M241 / etc.. I have extensive experience with industrial instrumentation in oil/gas and manufacturing environments and can help you remotely troubleshoot, program, and more! Got an old program you want to convert? No problem! I’ve done conversions from PLCs like Allen Bradley SLC500 and MicroLogix and EZAutomation as well. I can also design and build your custom control panels in my shop in Montana.
