Bryan Hackleman

Bryan Hackleman is a dedicated Mechanical Engineer employed at Advanced Energy in Fort Collins, Colorado. The company is known for its work in designing and manufacturing products essential to a wide range of industries, including semiconductor manufacturing, flat panel displays, data storage, telecommunications networks, solar cells, medical devices, and architectural glass. Bryan's role at Advanced Energy requires him to apply his strong analytical skills to research, evaluate, solve problems, and troubleshoot issues. In addition to these technical skills, he is also experienced in project planning and management, documentation, and technical writing. His proficiency extends to ASME Y14.5 GD&T and various CAD programs, including PTC Creo, SOLIDWORKS, ANSYS, and Fluent. Bryan is also skilled in data analysis using tools such as Excel, Matlab, and Minitab and has expertise in finite element analysis and computational fluid dynamics. His knowledge of Design-For-Manufacture (DFM) and Design-For-Manufacturing-Assembly (DFMA) principles is a critical asset in his engineering work. In his position, Bryan is responsible for designing equipment used in the production of semiconductor devices. He utilizes SolidWorks to create derivative RF generators based on existing products that are tailored to meet clients' specific needs. His design work includes sheet-metal enclosures, stamped and extruded heatsinks, and cable assemblies. He also ensures that electronic circuitry is effectively packaged within protective enclosures and takes part in troubleshooting, testing, and debugging prototype power supply units. One of Bryan's significant responsibilities is maintaining the existing lines of RF generators at Advanced Energy. This involves qualifying new mechanical and electrical components, particularly when current components become obsolete or are in limited supply. He conducts thermal analysis on these components to ensure that they continue to meet the high-reliability standards expected by the company.
