Expertise
Integrated in my Manufacturing & Mechanical field experience,
I have worked from 05/2009 until present in the NSLS-II Vacuum group as well as Beam Line as a Technical Specialist in the following areas. Detailed part machining, mechanical measurement Inspection & leak testing, Complex precision vacuum component assembly in our NSLS-II storage ring as well as beam line systems. In addition to assembly experience I specialize in "quick response" vacuum conditioning. Also known as Vacuum “bake-outs”. To safely complete Bake-outs it required me layout each bake zones. Calculated the actual Amp Draw for power & load distribution. This will ensure bake zone and power distribution uniformity and provide "consistent bake temperature" throughout the assembly. This process also includes, CCG, TSP & Neg, Controller Set-up, TSP & Neg. unit conditioning & Activation. When required I can also include RGA-Set-up, RGA de-gas, RGA "software" set-up, scanning, RGA Leak testing as well as RGA scan & Evaluation. In addtion I have also developed skills with Fusion ( Autodesk ) Design & machining software. And recently completed a Mastercam for CNC milling course given at Suffolk County Community College 3/2024.
