PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE

BAKER OIL TOOLS, Baker Hughes Inc., Broken Arrow, OK 2006 – 2009

Senior Design Engineer

Performed all phases of the project development process from design to testing of sub-surface safety valves for

oil production.

• Regularly performed cross-functional tasks including drafting and revising drawings of parts, which

expedited and reduced project times by weeks.

• Executed pressure and temperature calculations for harsh well conditions that ensured delivery of quality

products and protection of the environment.

• Managed custom design project tasks from conceptual design through prototype testing and customer

delivery that passed rigorous testing requirements on the first attempt and on one occasion set a high-speed

slam test record across all oil product companies with zero valve leakage to the environment.

• Recognized as an expert user of SolidWorks 3-D modeling software, with top grade results in all training

classes.

FLIGHT SAFETY INTERNATIONAL, Broken Arrow, OK 1999 – 2006

Software Engineer

Designed and installed Software for flight simulators.

• Performed diagnostics and analysis of computer integrated systems and site support that created a

seamless and uninterrupted training environment for pilots in training.

• Analyzed navigation systems and simulation programming that streamlined the system checkout and

training process. Performed immediate on-site maintenance to return the simulator to training readiness,

which saved money by eliminating downtime and loss of available hours for training.

• Composed the avionics portion of the customer test guide, which created a smooth checkout process and

resulted in a favorable response in a large contract government project.

JOHN WILLIAM MCARTHUR PAGE TWO

CENTRAL AND SOUTH WEST SERVICES, Tulsa, OK 1998 – 1999

Energy Planning Engineer

Performed cost related modeling of complex power plant operation scheduling scenarios including fuel

costing, heat rate calculations, economic analysis, and probabilistic modeling.

• Developed in-house reporting which resulted in shorter “sanity check” times.

• Prepared and submitted monthly regulatory filings to management for power demand requirements of

utilities in TX, OK, and AR that projected usage for scheduling work.
