Provide technical support for the business development team. Develop system architecture for proposal development. Coordinate the engineering team in creating estimates for proposals and lead the writing of the technical proposal. Create design basis documents as preliminary step in product development. Lead the engineering design team during the development of the system or product. This would include the development of documentation and review to insure all project requirements were addressed in the design.

Lead a team consisting of Electrical, Software, Mechanical and Test Engineers in the design of a safety related digital control system for nuclear applications. The largest project the design of an Engineered Safety Features Actuation System (ESFAS) for the ABWR. Hardware design developed an FPGA based Bridge Transfer Module used to move large quantities of data from the safety related network to a non-safety network. Hardware and Software designs included a safety related Video Display Unit (VDU) used by the operators to control the pumps, valve, fans in each of the safety divisions. Mechanical design developed a cabinet to house the equipment and meet the qualification requirements of the system. Test Engineering was responsible for the verification and validation of all hardware, software and mechanical designs. In addition, the Test Group developed test plans for the application running on the equipment.Another project developed the control system for an Emergency Diesel Generator for Mixed Oxide Fuel Fabrication Facility. This project required the design of a voltage regulator and speed controller for the diesel governor. The voltage regulator and speed controller are both safety related designs for hardware and software.Also lead a group of engineers in the development of a Topical Report for digital control system, voltage regulator and speed controller. Made several presentations to USNRC during Phase 0 meetings explaining the equipment prior to submitting the report.

Responsible for managing and developing engineering design change packages, equipment reliability evaluations, and providing maintenance and testing reviews of installed equipment. Primarily work responsibilities were focused on Maine Yankee Nuclear Power Plant.• Responsible for the development and implementation of engineering design changes. • Project responsibilities included: conceptual project development; engineering design; developing equipment specifications, documentation and installation packages; functional testing instructions and start-up of instrumentation and control systems. • Project scope for instrumentation ranged from simple instrument loops such as temperature, pressure, or flow to complicated level measurement systems with variable pressure, density and temperature compensation. • Control systems ranged from bistable/relay logic for valve control, replacement of a boiler control system, and replacement of the main feedwater control system involving three-element control. • Provided support to the I&C Maintenance Department for equipment troubleshooting, equipment reliability reviews, developed calibration methodologies, developed the setpoint uncertainty calculation program and provided reviews of the surveillance procedures to insure adequate testing was performed on crucial equipment. Skills developed include scheduling, budgeting, supervising the construction work during refueling outages and presentations to all levels of management.
