I’ve built my career in a variety of roles and industries, gaining the flexibility and experience to excel in many different environments and levels of responsibility. From safety systems engineering at Volkswagen to material science research at Oak Ridge National Laboratory, I have had the opportunity to work on teams, both inter- and cross-discipline, to find solutions to engineering problems. I have further expanded my skill set through my recent employment with Pro2Serve, which has enabled me to take on greater responsibility as the lead on projects working with clients to establish project objectives and solve design issues while observing accepted engineering and safety standards.
The greatest areas of interest to me are control systems (i.e. SCADA, PLC and HMI programming, etc..) and embedded systems (i.e. Digital Electronics, Microcontrollers, PIC programming, etc..).
Electrical Engineer II - Architecture & Engineering, Engineering Design, Nuclear, Cyber Security DOE @ Currently working as engineering support associated with deactivation, decommissioning, decontamination, and demolition of the Paducah Gaseous Diffusion Plant.
Participated in key roles for TVA Watts Bar Nuclear Wi-Fi project and one of DOE- Los Alamos renovation projects.
Lead Wi-Fi system designer for the Design Change Notification (DCN) of the Wi-Fi project at Watts Bar Nuclear power plant. Contributions included creating block diagrams, drafting wiring diagrams, drafting conduit/grounding drawings, one-line diagrams, bill of materials, routing cables in TVA’s ICRDs database system, heat load calculations, procurement request, MEL sheets, and initial assessment asset list.
Had an active role onsite at Sequoya Nuclear Plant as field support for the Wi-Fi and Harris Radio projects. This included assisting design engineering and craft with walking down and marking up design changes, issuing Post Issuance Changes (PICs) on Advance Authorization (AA), writing exceptions, and keeping a tracking log of each design change.
Played a pivotal and cross disciplinary role on a project for DOE-Los Alamos in drafting design changes for both the mechanical and electrical departments.
Surpassed management’s expectations by using a performance metric for identifying quantifiable outputs of work for management to track. From May 2014 to Present (1 year 8 months) Research Lab Technician - Material Science Research, R&D, DOE @ Worked primarily for the Manufacturing Demonstration Facility (MDF) in the high-bay of the Van De Graffe Laboratory with 9 Tesla superconducting magnets. Most of the work focused on additive manufacturing (i.e. 3D printing) and material processing under high magnetic fields.
• Designed and constructed various bore inserts, induction coils, tuned PID control systems, and modified Labview virtual instruments for High Magnetic Field Processing and Fused Deposition Modelling (FDM) research.
• Operated and maintained a Hitachi Scanning Electron Microscope and the handling of cryogenic liquids.
• Clean room experience with deposition, lithography, and etching. Specialized in vacuum technology. From May 2013 to May 2014 (1 year 1 month) Intern @ Wrote a publication on how to implement vehicles with high voltage systems onto an assembly line of an automotive plant in strict adherence to OSHA, NFPA, and ANSI safety standards and regulations. Worked closely with different departments to develop administrative, engineering, and PPE safety controls. Laid out the training qualifications for various levels of high voltage work throughout the plant. Surpassed management’s expectations by laying out a plan for implementing changes to the assembly line as a means of incorporating electrical vehicles into the existing automotive plant.
Trained in 5S Lean Manufacturing and Muda/Kaizen principles. From January 2013 to May 2013 (5 months) Chattanooga, Tennessee AreaCatalog Specialist / Supply Chain @ Collaborated with vendors to ensure that products were moving from the suppliers to the customers. Isolated product related issues and worked with the vendors to ensure that the customers were properly notified and that a satisfactory solution was obtained. From June 2008 to February 2010 (1 year 9 months) Chattanooga, Tennessee Area
Bachelors of Science, Electrical Engineering Technologies/Technicians, Senior @ The University of Tennessee at Chattanooga From 2009 to 2013 Associate of Science (A.S.), Engineering Studies @ Southern Adventist University From 2006 to 2008 Andrew Ionashku is skilled in: Electrical Engineering, Engineering Design, R&D, Material Science, Digital Electronics, Power Electronics, Microcontrollers, Labview, Arduino, Matlab, Control Systems Design, SCADA, PLC Ladder Logic, PIDs, Embedded Systems
