Summary

Senior Mechanical Design Engineer. My core competencies are mechanical design, mechanical drafting, machined & sheet metal part design, assembly design, BOM management, material selection, finish & coating selection, GD&T schemes, documentation control, technical writing, & judicious use of hyphens. My engineering specialties include machine design, optical bench design, cryogenic-environment design, vacuum-environment design, vacuum-interface design, RF-cavity design, cable design, and server-rack chassis design. My projects include design of parts & assemblies for one-off R&D projects and production-grade LASER-based machine tools, installation & commission of high-volume automotive manufacturing equipment, design of superconducting qubit signal-delivery architectures & packaging, and support of manufacturing operations in small manual fabrication shops & large automated factories. My work environments include academia, large companies, & scrappy start-ups. I am always open to new opportunities both in the United States (U.S. Citizen) and Europe (Irish Citizen).
