PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE

TURBORESEARCH, Exton, PA 2009 – 2013

Project Engineer

• Prepared input data for nonlinear and time transient program in a rotordynamic study to determine critical

speeds of a turbine driven boiler feed pump.

• Conversant with manufacturing process of plain carbon and alloy steel components from forging to

finished product. This includes heat treatment, NDT, stress relief, and a variety of machining processes.

• Sustained existing drawing inventory with revisions, bill of material, and purchase requests for fluid drive

and bearing refurbishment jobs.

• Supervised disassembly, component refurbishment, new part manufacture and assembly of multiple fluid

drives. Each project was worth up to 500k and assisted with installation.

• Developed bearing refurbishment workflow instructions with Autocad and Excel.

• Operated shop machinery for manufacture of Fluid Film Bearings and Fluid Drive Components including

3-Axis Mill with Mastercam, Bridgeport, Blanchard Grinder, Vertical Turret Lathe, and Horizontal Lathe.

• Conversant with tool selection, feeds and speeds, locating via indication, tolerancing and fitting,

endmilling, tapping and threading, material selection, material processing from forging, heat treatment,

rough machining, stress relief, nitride to final machine.

• Proficient with temperature and property sensitive measurement tools such as depth and height gauge,

micrometers, hardness tester, scale, and caliper and when use is appropriate.

• Handled part quality processes from Ultrasonic Testing and Magnetic Particle Inspection for Babbitt layer

and new steel manufacture.

• Participated in regular design, drilling, performance, and safety group meetings.

• Identified process improvements to reduce PDC manufacturing time and cut costs.

R&M ENERGY SYSTEMS, Willis, TX 2006 – 2008

Application Engineer

• Prepared conceptual design for custom test fixture including vendor and part research.

• Provided detailed drawings and coordinated with machine shop for equipment creation.

• Tested different elastomers for load and torque resistance as a function of deflection.

• Performed failure analysis of drilling motors involving part descriptions, drilling conditions, and

manufacturing records.

• Conducted hands-on part evaluation prior to and after insert removal of drilling motor stator, recorded

measurements, and noted failure modes.

• Consolidated motor reports, slide sheets, bit records, and log sheets to describe drilling conditions.

• Prepared presentation material for power section use in directional drilling and elastomer compounding.

• Visited drilling rig sites to establish customer contacts, collect mud samples & gather drilling information.

TURBOMACHINERY LABORATORY, College Station, TX 2004 – 2006

Research Assistant

• Conducted rotordynamic testing of annular oil seals, tilting pad, flexible pivot pad, and journal bearings.

• Replaced and troubleshot related control equipment; assembly, and maintenance of test rig.

• Calibrated, installed, and maintained pressure, proximity, temperature, acceleration sensing devices.

• Engaged in use of oscilloscope, dynamic signal analyzer, voltmeter and Microsoft Excel for testing.

• Prepared reports for customers including Dresser Rand and Turbomachinery Symposium.
