Katherine Hay

In this role I am primarily responsible for: • Hygrothermal analysis to evaluate the performance of building envelope assemblies for various clients including product manufacturers and firms who design new or retrofit construction projects • Thermal models to evaluate the thermal transmittance and dynamic response of building envelope components in 2D and 3D Software Used: NX, THERM, WINDOW, HEAT3 Familiar with following standards: ASHRAE 90.1, NECB, PassivHaus, NetZero, BC Step Code

Focusing on early phases of innovative product development, I work with a team to define the use case scenarios and functional requirements of the product. With a focus on risk analysis, mechanical performance, and design, I define, develop, and implement a robust lean test plan for the product, from functional prototype to EVT prototypes.

Provide engineering support in a range of industries, including sustainable energy and transport, product design and development, and mechanical systems engineering.

Engineer at a Hydro Power company, I rotated through three departments to experience various aspects of the industry. I gained experience in Thermal Power Generation, Alternative Energy, and Greenhouse Gas Engineering. For the latter I was the lead engineer for greenhouse gas reporting: Consolidated data and calculated associated emissions as per appropriate guidelines.

Development Engineer in New Product Development, I was the lead engineer for implant design responsible for the following: test protocols, organize cadaver design verification, design modification investigation to mitigate identified risks, and assist in PQ/OQ of manufacturing process.

Development Engineer in Postmarket Engineering, responsibilities included support of mature product: complaint handling, print changes, manufacturing non-conformance, risk analysis, corrective and preventative action, and development team member of regulatory submission files.
