Manufacturing
Brazing & Welding
I have assembled, vacuum brazed, and supported tooling validation for ten two-meter L-Band particle accelerator structures and one 0.75-meter accelerator structure. My work focuses on fixturing, alignment, handling, leak-check readiness, and process documentation so precision assemblies can meet strict hermeticity and manufacturing requirements

- Developed and redesigned the assembly process for 2 meter long Speed of Light linear accelerator structures, scaling production from one structure to four structures at a time
- Designed brazing, welding, leak-checking, lifting, shipping, cleaning, and transport tooling to support accelerator structure manufacturing
- Assembled and vacuum brazed four SOL structures using custom tooling and revised the tooling process to support future production builds
- Repurposed SOL tooling for a 0.75 m TPV linear accelerator structure by creating new strongback designs for TPV-specific geometry, alignment, and handling
- Designed a switch test bed to simulate cup and slug alignment for frequency changes from 6 MHz to 12 MHz
- Converted preliminary SLAC designs into representative models and documentation for a C-Band compact portable linac project
- Drafted prints for assembly, inspection, brazing, and machining while documenting tooling fabrication, build, rotation cart, and assembly procedures
