OBJECTIVE

EXPERIENCE

• Performed as Mechanical Lead Project Engineer that interfaced with various engineering disciplines to complete the specified project.
• Prepared plant modifications, calculations, and design basis evaluations that improved performance/reliability of systems/components while minimizing operating and maintenance costs for obsolete parts.
• Authored test plans and verified post-modification start-up operation.
• Authored licensing system specifications for the new generation of nuclear power plants.
• Solved specific problems by developing and applying advanced engineering concepts of fluid flow, thermodynamics, heat transfer, mechanics, and dynamics.
• Assisted in developing new business by writing proposals, estimating man-hour requirements, and defining project scope.
• Guided and reviewed work of other team members in accomplishing daily tasks and overall project specific duties.
• Specific Key Projects:
  • Lead a multi-disciplinary team of engineers to modify the installation of a replacement sodium hypochlorite chemical injection system.
  • Researched and analyzed industry reliability and performance data of major equipment for use in the design of the next generation high temperature nuclear reactor.
  • Designed a re-routing of 30. diameter pipe modification to eliminate thermal transients when changing operating pumps in a cooling water system.
  • Spearheaded the aluminum inventory identification and reduction program and evaluated the chemical impact during a postulated accident.
  • Lead a multi-disciplinary team of engineers to modify and install a hydrazine chemical injection system.
  • Designed nuclear safety-related floor drain covers to allow drainage and prevent blockage during a postulated accident.
  • Modeled large cooling water networks for pressure and flow distribution.

• Served as Project Engineer for various simultaneous projects up to $3 Million.
  • Lead-Acid batteries, for UPS reserve power systems
    • Supervised up to five technicians performing assembly, QA, and testing duties.
  • Motor Control Centers (MCC) & Cubicles and miscellaneous obsolete spare parts
• Worked as Design Engineer for products and accessories to meet customer specifications:
  • UPS battery system sizing, layout, wiring, design, and component selection.
  • Motor Control Centers (MCC) & Cubicles, wiring, component sizing calculation, enclosure alignment, and performance to meet motor load requirements.
  • Testing instructions, data analysis, evaluation of results, and report generation.
  • Documentation generation of instruction manuals, seismic qualification reports, and certifications.
• Provided client interface for product support, scheduling, testing, design, and application evaluations for equivalent obsolete parts.
  • Includes testing instructions, data analysis, and root cause assessment for customer returned material.
  • Served as Logistics Coordinator for material and personnel resources to perform on-site work with security and nuclear industry documentation requirements including work procedures, QA inspections, technician training, and scheduling.
• Vendor interface for part design, product quality, scheduling, ordering, and price negotiation.
• Internal Coordinator responsibilities included
  • Ordering required project materials.
  • Developing design drawings and technician instructions for fabrication and testing.
  • Initiation and implementation of product design modifications as necessary to meet changing production and customer requirements.
• Specific Key Projects
  • Performed system design and IEEE 485 sizing of multiple UPS systems. Oversaw manufacturing, quality inspections, IEEE 450 testing, IEEE 535 seismic qualification, and scheduling of over 2500 lead-acid battery cells.
  • Performed design of motor control cubicles with accelerating resistors that step up the speed of 250VDC motors with timers. MCC also requires large contactors, thermal overload protection, under voltage relays and numerous auxiliary contacts for remote alarm monitoring and activation.

• Created computational fluid dynamic (CFD) models to simulate gas/liquid separation inside pressure vessels. These vessels require the use of porous media, turbulent flow, heat transfer, particle injections, and path trajectory models.
• Benchmark CFD results with physical wind tunnel test results to develop mathematical relationships for specific applications requiring product optimization.
• Perform two-phase flow calculations verifying the product design satisfies the client requirements.
