I presented theGalling Test Rig at the European Nuclear Young Generation Forum 2017.Supported manufacture of valve components through manufacture in a very fast pacedprogramme. This included design for manufacture reviews, characteristics matrices, andconcession processing for both internal and external supply chains.Led a programme to bring a new welding supplier up to standard, this has involvedbalancing costs against technical thoroughness to reach a robust solution.Production of 50+ component drawings to ASME Y14.5.Detailed design of valve components, including taking through DR1-5.Produced a detailed robust design assessment of the valve latch assembly.Technical support of raw material orders, including providing justifications forconcessions.Authored Design Definition Report (DDR) and supported authorship of Valve DesignSubstantiation Report (DSR), Failure Modes and Effects Criticality Analysis (FMECA)and Design Test Request 2 (DTR2) for Critical Design Review (CDR). DDR was singledout for praise from the customer as a work of high quality.Daily use of Siemens NX and Teamcentre for model and drawing production andapproval. Show less
