JOSEPH S. STEELE

• Serve as a primary mechanical engineer supporting HVAC design for LP1 capital projects across conceptual, basic, detailed, and constructural design phases

• Lead coordination of HVAC systems for GMP facilities, including ISO-classified production spaces, hazardous rooms, CRT environments, cold storage, and freezers

• Review and validate boundary drawings, airflow strategies, pressurization schemes, and equipment selection to ensure compliance with GMP and safety requirements

• Evaluate AHU design packages, including coils, filtration systems (HEPA/BIBO), fans, and humidification components

• Support temperature mapping and CFD review activities to optimize environmental control and ensure product quality compliance

• Ownership of various piping specifications and best practices, providing assistance for redlining and refining engineering documentation that serves as a technical reference for utility and facility inquires
• Specifications Ownership & Technical Governance
  - Own and maintain master mechanical specifications, including piping standards and general design specifications
  • Perform periodic reviews to ensure alignment with applicable services, materials, and vendor requirements
  • Serve as a technical resource for RFIs and design deviations, providing guidance to ensure compliance with Lilly standards
  • Influenced design decisions by advocating for simplified, reliable engineering solutions (e.g-, pressure-driven condensate systems)
  Safety, Risk, and System Reliability
  • Defined HVAC system response strategies for equipment failures, including fan interlocks, damper sequencing, and emergency power transitions
  • Supported development of BMS control logic and alarm strategies (BMS
  15901)
  - Conducted risk assessments, including freeze risk analysis using weather data to evaluate system exposure and operational risk

• Heavily contributed to the conceptual design of a SMAC actuator test stand to verify linear and rotary positions of the rod, and that force and torque outputs match the expected results
• Developed unique and robust 3D printed shipping guards for SMAC precision actuators
• Employed critical thinking skills by identifying spare part reliability concerns, and providing analytical data to suggest optimal algorithmic solutions for the IDAP department
• Gained familiarity with 80/20 structural framing and machine safety standards by assisting the principal Engineer in the installation of hard guarding and safety doors on three new machines preparing for acceptance testing

• Honed my engineering skills by working in the Mechanical Engineering Department where I tested the quality of parts and tools within engine test cells through XFMEA. The results were entered into Excel spreadsheet as reference information for employees of the test center
