I spent my first three years working on the design and manufacture of seven Insertion Devices. These are large devices (total weight of 6 tonnes) that accurately position and control a magnet array that influences an electron beam. There are many variants of the design, and unique challenges, dependant upon the final application. I worked in a small team.

JPM International, Cardiff, WalesEmployed as a design and systems consultant, for this manufacturer of video games and fruit machines, I provided advice for a new cabinet design to house the latest games. In addition, I reviewed their design and development process, with particular emphasis on product introduction into manufacturing.I spent the remainder.
