Worked with various manufacturing companies to improve product design by the use of advanced engineering software and tools. Clients included manufacturers of industrial furnaces, high temperature IR cameras, aircraft lighting systems, earthquake simulators, heat exchanger test stands, and process piping systems. Developed sophisticated thermal and structural computer simulations to greatly reduce client’s product development, testing, and field costs.Performed piping stress/flexibility analyses to ensure code compliance and determine loads on connected equipment for ethanol process plant.Performed code calculations for fiberglass pressure vessels per ASME RTP-1 and benchmarked against finite element methodswww.amcengineering.com

As manager of the mechanical engineering dept, I was responsible for directing the activities of a staff of 60 engineers and designers. Maintained project budget targets and schedules. Introduced solid modeling (Solidworks) and associated tools to support advanced engineering and design. Developed significant business in the space and aerospace industries in area of Finite Element Analysis.

Responsible for conceptual furnace design and developing markets for those products, both domestic and international. Developed new customers and markets for thermal process equipment in areas of advanced ceramics, superconductor materials, and powdered metals. Principal responsibility for U.S. market. Successfully marketed and sold new products in which company had significant patent investments. Secured $3.5M new customer orders in first year in business development role.Interpreted customer specifications and prepared appropriate custom furnace design specifications including P&ID development incorporating furnaces, gas filtering and recycling system, pumps, and piping design. Performed complete design, proposal preparation, and customer interface for up to $12MM process systems domestically and internationally. Initiated Solid Modeling and Finite Element Analysis techniques to optimize equipment design.

Extensive design and field experience in Blast Furnace process and engineering.Lead engineer for $40MM blast furnace reline project. Responsibilities included mechanical design engineering for automated material handling system and design of cooling system for furnace refractory lining. Several field assignments at steel and chemical processing facilities performing on-site engineering design and capital projects management. Lead engineer for design of $10MM distributed control system for a blast furnace. Supervised DCS vendor (Westinghouse WDPF) to ensure proper control strategies were implemented. Followed project through field start-up with record production levels realized in less than two weeks. Responsible for monitoring operation of blast furnace during start-up phase. Conducted training classes for furnace operators on new control system.Using HTML text editors, developed company's first website in 1995 showcasing Finite Element Analysis capabilities.
