Troy Weber is an electrical engineer who specializes in control systems for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Pittsburgh District and has been working for the corps for more than two years.
“I love engineering because it allows me to use available tools and apply them to real-world issues. It’s an incredibly rewarding process,” Weber said.
Weber earned his Bachelor of Science degree in Electrical Engineering from the University of Pittsburgh with a minor in Bioengineering. Before working for the corps, Weber programmed automation for a lead-acid battery manufacturer.
“Right now, the most exciting thing I’m working on is the Upper Ohio Navigation Project, specifically the new river chamber at Montgomery Locks and Dam,” he said. “The project will most likely span a good portion of my career, but we’re innovating ways to keep a high-traffic point operational for years to come at an expanded capacity.”
When he is not on the job, Weber enjoys spending time at Kennywood with his kids, getting answers wrong at pub trivia, and cheering for the Steelers, Penguins and Pirates.
