Corporation Project Experience
Engineer Level II, 2010 to present
Tetra Tech Advent, Ann Arbor, MI
Currently providing support for the drafting and editing of EOPs and ERGs for the US-APWR. Past responsibilities include detailed review of drawings and specifications for inputs to room heat up and HELB calculations, detailed review of published component testing results for inputs into aging tests for equipment qualification, drafting of test procedures, preparing of calculations and reports, and providing Quality Assurance support to the US-APWR Engineering Procurement drafting project.
Hardware Design Engineer, 2008 to 2010
GE-Hitachi (GEH), Wilmington, NC
Designed conceptual repair hardware for BWR nuclear reactors using Autodesk Inventor, created detailed part and assembly models and drawings for reference and for manufacturing, drafted installation and inspection specifications, worked closely with tooling and analysis groups to ensure feasibility of repair installation and compliance with NRC regulations, and provided engineering support during hardware installation during refueling outages. Duties also included participation in design challenges and reviews, peer review of engineering designs and documents, drafting of engineering procedures, and streamlining engineering processes. Accomplishments include completion of Mechanical Design Fundamentals coursework, three accepted Intellectual Property submissions, a successfully employed time/cost savings method, and the successful installation of both first-of-a-kind hardware designs and several routine repair hardware designs.
