Design the electrical panels and program PLC software. This includes drawing a wire schematic using Solidworks Electrical, model the panel using solidworks mechanical, producing panel layout drawings, and bill of materials. This is done for the following applications:Standard Product Development: Vacuum Ovens, High Vacuum Bakeout ChambersCustom Systems: Thermal Vacuum Systems, Altitude simulation systems, Vacuum Ovens, Degas ChambersAccomplishments:Completed the electrical design and program for new standard products. Specifically vacuum ovens, and high vacuum bake out chambers. Wrote a PID algorithm in ladder logic for temperature control using heaters and LN2Wrote an altitude simulation algorithm to maintain a constant, user defined, altitude rate of change from -2000 feet to 200,000 feet. Wrote a pressure simulation algorithm to maintain a constant, user defined, pressure rate of change. Able to interface with multiple chiller brands for temperature control using thermal fluidsDeveloped configurable sub-assemblies in Solidworks Mechanical to streamline the 3D design of electrical panels. Acquired Skills:Thorough understanding of electrical power distribution: single phase, 3 phase wye, 3 phase delta, etcStandard electrical design practices. How to correlate pressure and altitude, up to 130 miles in elevation.System designs using cryogenics: dewers, valves, fittings, etcThermal Fluid Heat TransferThermal Chillers

Designed vacuum chambersCustom systems is Laco's specialty. As a Mechanical Engineer, I was required to design, model, and oversee the manufacture of various types of vacuum chambers such as: High Vacuum Chambers, Leak Detection Systems, Altitude Simulation Chambers, and Degas Chambers. Achievements:Shipped 3 to 5 custom vacuum chambers/systems each month. Achieved vacuum pressures of <1E-7 torr in high vacuum chambers.Developed various ways to heat products in a vacuum chamber to >200CDeveloped an algorithm of calculating the pressure drop of N2 gas, across several parallel pipes, located on all six sides of a chamber. Acquired Skills:Vacuum Technology: Gauges (Pirani, Cold/Hot Cathode), Pumps (Blowers, Turbo Molecular, Cryogenic, Scroll, Rotary Vain), Valves, High Vacuum, Conductance, Mean Free Path, etc. Helium Leak Detection: Designed entire systems built to find helium leaking out of partsPressure Drop Analysis: Designed channeled platens for thermal fluids to travel through, designed high viscous fluid transfer systems using vacuum forces, designed channeled platens and shrouds for thermally controlled N2 gas to travel through. Weld Design: Understand what kinds of welds to use to avoid warping and withstand pressure and thermal stresses. Attention to Detail: The devil is in the details. Failure to account for the details in the design phase will result in expensive and time consuming fixes at the tail end of the job.

Waltham, Ma, Us

Product development of the Single Use Fermentor (SUF) for the medical industry. Mu primary role was to design an exhaust condensor that served two purposes, maximum product reclaimation that had evaporated in the exhaust, and increase the life of the system filter by preventing unwanted particles in the exhaust.

Waltham, Ma, Us

Designed and program a factory acceptance test box.I worked with the team that managed the Single Use Bioreactors (SUBs). The reactors were controlled by an electrical box that needed a quick and easy way to verify it was built and functioning correctly. My role was to design a control panel that would plug into the SUBs and run a series of tests to verify everything worked correctly.

Layered pre-impregnated carbon fiber composites onto molds. Applied vacuum pressures on the molds and cured the resin inside an autoclave which used LN2 to pressurize to 100 psig. After curing, I added metal fittings to the composite components using eqoxy. The components then went through cryogenic testing. We used liquid nitrogen and liquid helium to bring the compenents down to 17 kelvin. The finished products are being used as structural members for the thermal management system of the James Webb Space Telescope.
