Nuclear Robotics / W Westinghouse Nuclear – 11 years 1994 to 2006
Engineering Department Manager
Chief Design Engineer
Outage Project Manager
Technical Sales & Marketing Lead
Supervision and review of engineering documentation for ISO 9001 statutory/contractual compliance
Responsible for developing, writing, editing, and publishing quality system policies and procedures.
Took ownership of very large safety critical systems project that was failing at nuclear plant in Mexico.
Managed project turn-around using Agile Lean process methods, logistics and root cause analysis.
Created Scrum framework testing process for 120 American and Mexican engineers working on nuclear valve testing project. Launch was difficult as the project started with traditional management and was 60+ days behind schedule and losing $100K per week. Using an Agile/Scrum lean methodology for tracking schedules, technical requirements, and QC documentation - the work became collaborative, cross-functional and productivity increased over 250%. Lost time and revenue were made up and completed early with $3.5 million dollar profit on this complex 1,200 valve testing/calibration project.
Awarded patent on laser and optical sensing invention for motor operated valve testing.
Helped create and present detailed technical bespoke proposals to nuclear powerplant executives and technical managers. These marketing efforts increased the number of new nuclear plant clients for Westinghouse by 200% and over $7M annual recurring revenue in just six months.
