Electrical Engineering
High Voltage • Pulsed Power • Linac Systems
Introduction
Valentine Engineering specializes in electrical engineering for high voltage pulsed power systems that are typically used to drive electron linear accelerators.
I have over 20 years exeperience as an electrical engineer in high voltage, pulsed power, and linac related systems. My early experience was on scientific systems, and the bulk of my latter experience has come from medical based oncology systems.
I am available for contract, part time, or possible full time work opportunities. If you need help, please feel free to reach out to me.
