Directed the mechanical design of automated industrial heat exchanger cleaning systems, managing projects from early concept through manufacturing packages.

Produced detailed shop drawings for mechanical, electrical, and structural assemblies; developed P&IDs, scopes of work, and design manuals to support fabrication and client operations.

Built and validated a numerical simulation of the heating loop for 30,000 L and 36,000 L ultrasonic cleaning systems. Used the model to guide design changes including:

• Reversing flow direction through the glycol heat exchanger for improved thermal efficiency.

• Converting the exchanger layout from parallel to serpentine to optimize heat transfer.

• Increasing the steam-side capacity to reliably handle 12 PSI low-pressure steam conditions.

Modeled and drafted complete assemblies using SolidWorks, ensuring alignment between design intent, manufacturability, and safety requirements.

Specified materials, components, and fasteners to meet performance and durability targets while balancing cost and availability.

Worked directly with clients, sales, and external engineering teams to clarify requirements, resolve technical issues, and adapt designs to site-specific conditions.

Coordinated with vendors and suppliers to evaluate options, source specialized parts, and verify compliance with specifications.

Supported fabrication and assembly by reviewing shop builds, troubleshooting discrepancies, and refining designs for manufacturability.

Conducted design reviews and risk assessments to ensure equipment safety, reliability, and compliance with relevant codes and standards.

Documented design processes and project outcomes to support knowledge transfer and future product development.

Actively contributed to a multidisciplinary team environment, integrating mechanical, piping, instrumentation, and electrical requirements into cohesive system designs.

Designed and developed heavy-duty site support equipment including heaters, distribution panels, transformers, and generators.

Engineered skid bases and lifting devices for loads up to 10,000 lbf, validating designs through stress and heat transfer analysis, and ensuring compliance with ASME BTH-1.

Designed indirect fired heaters in accordance with cETLus: CSA 2.14 / ANSI Z83.7, CSA C22.2 #3, UL 295, and NFPA standards.

Conducted research and performed strain energy calculations to Redesign distribution panels from Powder-Coated Steel to Aluminum reducing weight, lowering cost, and improving operator safety while maintaining equivalent strength.

Led the development of industrial control panels under UL 508A and CSA C22.2 No. 286 Panel Shop Programs, programming controllers, and PLCs to meet system requirements.

Partnered with manufacturing teams during prototyping and testing, incorporating feedback to resolve issues and improve product reliability and manufacturing processes.

Contributed to QA/QC procedures, investigated/provided solutions to field equipment issues, and supported the rollout of lean practices to improve workflows.

Led a small engineering team through conceptual and detailed design, mentoring E.I.T. and co-op students throughout the process including Concepual Design, Prototyping, and Manufacture.

Designed and Analyzed automated machinery for residential construction, using CAD, FEA, and Cost Modeling to support decision-making. 

Developed Published Work that simulated machine operation allowing for optimization of design.

Redesigned components of exhisting machines for use in new designs to improve Reliability, Servicability, and Reduce Complexity.

Automated and streamlined processes through the use of programming.

Introduced a PDM and Vault system for document management, and automated routine tasks with custom programming to improve efficiency. 

Prepared reports, technical documentation, and client presentations, establishing new standards for internal and external communication. 

Gathered supplier quotes and built Preliminary Budgets to support project planning and resource allocation. 

Designed and prototyped new product enclosures, focusing on mechanical performance and manufacturability.

Created electronic enclosures for both 3D printing and injection molding, balancing design standards with production constraints.
