Hunter Stowe

As a Nuclear Electronics Technician on board the USS Hampton Fast Attack Nuclear Submarine, I have developed expertise in electrical troubleshooting across a broad range of systems. I possess an intimate understanding of the operation of electrical circuits, the construction of analog and digital circuits, and the proficient use of electronic test equipment. My experience includes implementing safe operating practices in the operation of pressurized water nuclear reactors while demonstrating a comprehensive understanding of complex reactor physics and chemistry.

I am adept in minimizing radiation exposure while working in hostile radiation areas and have coordinated with supervisory figures to plan and execute numerous maintenance items within tight schedules, ensuring precision and efficiency. I have coordinated with third party entities to ensure timely calibration and receipt of equipment. My keen attention to detail extends to identifying component faults and maintaining rigorous cleanliness standards in engineering spaces.

I am known for my ability to work seamlessly with team members and independently, consistently delivering high-quality results without discrepancies.
