Logan Pate

Analytical and highly disciplined Nuclear Propulsion Plant Supervisor (US Navy Submarines / E-6 MM1) and Quality Assurance Inspector with over a decade of high-consequence engineering operations experience. Expert in interpreting complex technical schematics, executing rigorous process controls, and managing strict engineering tolerances—including formal training and operational knowledge of advanced Class V interference fit types. Currently leveraging an elite mechanical background into an advanced computer-aided design (CAD) and programming track, targeting a fully remote, W-2 Mechanical Designer, Blueprint Specialist, or CAD Automation/AI Calibration role.

Submarine Nuclear Propulsion Plant Supervisor / MM1 (E-6) - U.S. NAVY / DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE (DOD) | Submarine Force

(2005 - 2011)

• Supervised the safe operation, tactical casualty response, and preventative maintenance of multi-million dollar submarine reactor plant equipment, steam systems, fluid dynamics loops, and complex mechanical assemblies.
• Served as Engineering Watch Supervisor (EWS) / Engineering Officer of the Watch (EOOW), directing a specialized team of technical operators during time-critical, high-consequence maritime evolutions.
• Analyzed complex mechanical blueprints and system schematics to diagnose physical process failures, directing immediate technical root-cause resolutions and long-term asset stabilization.
• Maintained absolute adherence to narrow, rigid chemical and physical specification bands for primary and secondary reactor fluid loops.

Nuclear Propulsion Plant Maintenance Supervisor / Quality Assurance Inspector - PUGET SOUND NAVAL SHIPYARD & IMF / NRMD - Silverdale, WA

(2012 - 2015)

• Directed industrial fleet and depot-level overhaul maintenance schedules, mechanical refurbishments, and high-precision system modifications on naval nuclear assets.
• Executed rigorous Quality Assurance (QA) inspections, meticulously validating that physical work components strictly adhered to raw technical publications, design blueprints, and system diagrams.
• Audited, authored, and authorized formal technical maintenance procedures, ensuring correct materials listings, precise dimensional tolerances, and structural integrity approvals from designated staff engineers.
• Streamlined legacy workflow tracking systems to isolate and remove non-value-added steps, cutting task durations in half while maintaining absolute safety compliance.
