Experience from the Top Down

Jeff is the owner of TCS Design, and personally oversees all projects at this time.  Resources are called upon from a variety of sources, to enable cost reduction while preserving quality and client responsibility.

Jeff Murray has experience in engineering project management including thermal, vibration, structural analysis and mechanical design. 

Before starting TCS Design, Mr. Murray worked on a variety of projects:

Four years of mechanical design engineering with the consulting firm Byrne Engineering in Burlington, ON.  Pressure vessel registrations, large-scale mechanical design including bridges, platforms, vehicles rating and component design, industrial processes, HVAC, and pre-start safety reviews.  A variety of design projects completed and commissioned over the term at Byrne.

Design and testing of space components hardware for Com Dev Space in Cambridge, ON.  This included power cables, RF signal wave-guide, and other communication hardware.  Thermal and structural analysis were requirements of this position, along with presentation of the results to the customer.  Gate review customer presentations with technical lead role required.

Designed frame and structural components of Public transit buses for Orion in Mississauga, ON.  Many designs developed here were closely connected to CSA standards.  Also developed frame for hybrid, and natural gas power systems.  FE analysis and solid modeling required design tools.

Designed water heaters for GSW Water Heaters for a six-month contract. This position involved working with R and D staff and incorporating changes into the design.

Detailed water-cooling systems for Sandvik Conveyors using PVC and stainless pipe.  Pump and flow determination required.

Student placement at General Motors in Oshawa.

Formative years included working on a large dairy farm in Ontario (6 years).  This included operation of heavy equipment (several 200hp tractors) with required maintenance, welding, metalwork, and construction and general labor.
