My name is Jesse Zipf and I am the founder and CEO of ForgeWorx Automation LLC. I have been an Automation Engineer in the manufacturing industry for over 15 years. I recently started ForgeWorx to deliver the same high quality engineering as the large integrators but at a fraction of the cost. I have worked in various sectors including industrial, medical, safety, custom manufacturing. A graduate from Penn State University I began my journey as an electro-mechanical engineer but quickly developed into much more. From initial conceptual design to real world installation. I can do it all. I am open for any and all projects, big or small, single or ongoing. It can be a simple programming task with your current software and setup to a whole new control system design and install. I can provide single part CAD work or design entire systems. I can program your robotics or design a robotics system for you. I can integrate components and systems into your current setup or create something new. If you have any idea for improvement I can make it a reality. I can even just consult and give you suggestions, details, and resources if you want to do the work yourself. I can provide as little or as much engineering support as you need.
CEO
I own a remote drafting company that serves the US from Pittsburgh. With over 9 architects and 2 engineers, we can provide quick and affordable Project based deliverables.

I started in the CAD world over 10 years ago as an entry level drafted in the waste water industry. I spent time doing fabrication design drawing kckahea for small treatment systems, but worked my way up to 3D piping group manager. I’ve lead many piping projects that range from $800K to $290 million dollars. Although piping and mechanical design is my background, I am capable of much more.
