OBJECTIVE
A challenging mechanical engineering position that focuses on the
design and analysis of Centrifugal Pumps.
PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE
Nuclear Mechanical Project Engineer, Flow Solutions Group
2005-Present Flowserve Corporation, Los Angeles, California
. Generated engineering proposals and executed engineering projects of
centrifugal pump designs for domestic and international nuclear power
plants including the newly designed Westinghouse's AP1000, Areva's
EPR, U.S. and Japanese PWR & BWR nuclear plants.
. Performed analytical tasks to demonstrate soundness of pump design,
including engineering design calculations, analysis, design layout,
assembly drawings, models and material selection. Analyzed blueprints,
plans, schematics, P&IDs and other customer technical and commercial
specifications to develop and prepare proposals and cost estimates to
insure they are acceptable relative to technical engineering details,
commercial terms, price, delivery and project scope.
. Investigated and examined customer's problems and recommend technical
and practical solutions to improve the designs for the benefit of the
customer.
. Interacted with and supported customers, sales personnel, Project
Engineering team, Project Management, Manufacturing Engineering,
Quality Assurance, Planning, Procurement, Manufacturing to facilitate
project flow and to increase the completion rate of the projects and
handing it over to clients.
. Provided technical engineering support and direction to team members.
Trained and coached engineers on tasks such as engineering design,
BOM, material specifications, GD&T, Thermodynamics, Fluid Mechanics,
and Heat Transfer.
. Chaired and facilitated pump engineering design reviews with internal
and external customers. Acted as a source of support during any design
issues and resolutions. Communicated to the project team any potential
cost risks and opportunities.
. Reviewed and evaluated customer engineering purchase orders to insure
they are acceptable relative to technical engineering details,
commercial terms, price, delivery and project scope of supply.
. Supported the Nuclear Engineering Team to meet/exceed customer/market
expectations, while maximizing market/bookings opportunities, driving
derivative/new product introductions, maximizing OI and providing
support in meeting/exceeding company metrics.
. Generated and checked nuclear centrifugal pumps engineering analysis
reports, including ASME Code pressure boundary analysis, structural
and rotor dynamic analysis, failure analysis, stress analysis,
hydraulic analysis, all by applying mechanical design, heat transfer
and fluid mechanics principles
. Created and checked engineering design drawings prepared in CAD based
on ANSI Y14.5M Standards. Dispositioned NCRs, CARs, etc, as required.
Developed engineering bill of materials, engineering design
specifications, project specific procedures, assembly drawings and
materials of construction based on design criteria and in accordance
with customer requirements and department policies and procedures.
. Implemented accuracy and on time delivery of pump engineering projects
in order to maximize engineering on time delivery in support of
company profitability.
. Demonstrated operational excellence in engineering design, leveraging
toward commonality in BOM structuring, BOM accuracy, minimal
proliferation of P/N's, standardization of legacy P/N's, design
standardization, design for manufacturability. Drove towards a goal of
100% accuracy in BOM, tolerance stack-up, drawing accuracy, etc. in
the shortest cycle time possible.
. Supported an environment of continuous improvement, continually
striving for increased performance expectations throughout areas of
responsibilities. Generated over 30% of saving in engineering cycle
time.
. Supported operational excellence in Materials, Production and Quality
related functions. Driving data accuracy, process standardization,
accountability, process leaning, elimination of multiple/personal
databases to manage the business (i.e. continual drive toward one
database to manage the business), subsequent leveraging of resources,
cycle time reductions.
. Ensured Safety Standards & 6S practices are maintained at the highest
level possible and consistent with Corporate and BU Standards.
. Knowledgeable of Codes and Standards related to the markets/industries
(ASME Code, 10CFR50 Appendix B, N45.2, NQA-1, ISO 9001, JSME, ASTM,
JIS, 10CFR21, RCCM, and IAEA guidelines).
