Professional Experience

INTECSEA WORLEYPARSONS GROUP, Houston, TX 2008 to 2016

Engineering Specialist 2012 to 2016

Hands-on pre-process and assimilate CAD models using SolidWorks and Design Modeler in preparation for FEA (proficient in ANSYS). Design, development, testing, and field support of static structure components to meet requirements for life, cost, weight, maintainability, and durability. Verified and resolved mechanical and structural assemblies, weldments, machined and piece parts design and analysis. Performed hand calculations and finite element analysis and created reports in support of product development, testing, continuous improvement, and optimization.

Performed multi-component nonlinear contact finite element and thermal analysis, and verified design and safety, saving testing and production cost.

Researched (self-initiated and independently) challenging problem, determined appropriate approach, and provided solutions (using personal time), reducing project time 20%.

Conducted detail oriented work and error check and diagnosed and fixed misunderstanding of FEA program results and API code formulas, saving project time.

Coordinated 7 concurrent projects; met technical quality requirements, schedules, and budget restraints, delivering product perfectly on-time and meeting customer satisfaction.

Senior Engineer 2012

Promoted to improve department engineering capability.

Penetrated new markets, verified and resolved design and analysis issues of initial oil sand barge project, satisfying client’s needs and capturing additional projects.

Analyzed dynamic response of structures for resonance-vibration induced fatigue damage and provided practical solution, eliminating would-be experimental costs.

Learned client required structural analysis software tools and industry codes, and performed structural design and analysis, executing and meeting timelines and delivery dates and ensuring product met design criteria.

Structural Engineer II 2008 to 2012

Executed complex structural analysis of offshore floating platforms and equipment in harsh environmental conditions, applying mechanical engineering principles and practices using standard (various industrial codes such as ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel code section VIII, AISC, ABS, DNV, or API) or non-standard procedures (FEA and ANSYS).

Design-guided and optimized product, conducted static linear and nonlinear or dynamic analysis (using ANSYS or SACS), saving 5 – 10 % construction cost.

Organized and tabulated 17 team members’ hardware and software status to up-to-date, improving quality, efficiency, and data sharability 10%.

Communicated with client monthly, increasing department profitability in reliable work and reducing error with 0% delay.

Initiated and resolved technical problems of FEA tools among department member projects, reducing downtime 3% / month.
