Serve as Sedron’s senior technical authority on heavy industrial machine design, rotating equipment, pressure vessel design, and welded/structural systems.
Provide SME-level guidance to engineers company-wide, including structural integrity reviews, failure analysis, design improvement strategies, and advanced analytical support.
Lead cross-disciplinary design reviews, risk assessments, and formal technical decisions for major capital equipment.
Lead the design and development of custom heavy-duty mechanical systems, ensuring high reliability, maintainability, and performance in continuous industrial operations.
Lead the design and integration of complex rotary components (shafts, bearings, seals, couplings, gears, lubrication systems).
Oversee detailed CAD models, drawings, GD&T, weldment designs, and manufacturing documentation for large equipment systems.
Conduct and review advanced analyses (FEA, CFD, fatigue, vibration, thermal, dynamic analysis) to validate and optimize machine performance.
Evaluate and qualify components, materials, and suppliers for robust long-term service.
Perform and guide advanced structural and fatigue analysis for large, welded assemblies, pressure boundaries, frames, housings, and mechanical support structures.
Assess degradation mechanisms (corrosion, fatigue, creep, wear, cracking) and develop strategies to prevent failures.
Ensure all designs and reviews meet ASME, AWS, AISC, API, and internal standards.
Support systems through the complete lifecycle — from concept development and prototyping through manufacturing, commissioning, field support, and end-of-life evaluation.
Lead root cause analyses for equipment failures; drive corrective actions and design improvements that minimize downtime and improve total lifecycle cost.
Collaborate closely with manufacturing, automation, controls, operations, and maintenance to ensure systems are safe, serviceable, and cost-effective.
Mentor and elevate the technical capabilities of mechanical, structural, and rotational equipment engineers across the organization.
Translate complex engineering concepts to non-technical stakeholders, ensuring clarity and alignment across teams.
