S U P P O RT I N G PRINCIPLES Cost Effective / Innovative Problem Solving / Customer Focused VALUES We approach every job with a basic sense of responsiveness to the customers need. That need might be a small amount of consulting or it might be a significant design/build job; it might be a desire for firm fixed price or more comfort with a time and materials arrangement; it might be a really demanding schedule or it might be a need to adjust the work to an uncertain funding schedule. With our experience we have confidence we can find a way to meet your needs. Fluid Systems CORE COMPETENCIES Mechanical Systems SOLIDWORKS 3D CAD Design ANSI Y14.5M Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing Low production volume products Precision machined or welded static structures Rotating machinery Stress analysis, life analysis Material and processing selection Manufacturing method selection Electro-Mechanical Systems Electromechanical Systems Drive mechanisms Precision positioning mechanisms Motor and drive selection Integrated Packages Energy Systems Thermodynamic analysis Heat transfer analysis Fluid systems High temperatures/pressures Propulsion and power systems Chemical processes System architectures, control methods Energy Systems 2 Providing Innovative Engineering Solutions

O U R PA R T N E R S Ken Presley, Chief Engineer & President API Engineering LLC Mr. Presley is Principle Investigator on the SBIR oxygen generator program with the Office of Naval Research for development of an oxygen source for undersea power systems. Mr. Presley is President of API Engineering LLC and also serves as its chief engineer. His background includes 34 years in aerospace research, design, development, and production including 17 years in undersea propulsion, 13 years in space based systems, and 4 years in consulting and contract engineering. He began as a systems engineer at Garrett Pneumatic Systems Division where he became integration lead on the MK50 torpedo propulsion development program. He later joined Advanced Propulsion Inc. where he was a principal in the successful Submarine Torpedo Defense (SMTD) undersea propulsion program and led multiple engineering services programs. At Ball Aerospace he served as chief systems engineer and technical manager on multiple spacecraft mechanism programs. In 2009 Mr. Presley formed API Engineering LLC and reentered the undersea propulsion market as the initial focus. Since then the business has expanded to include commercial mechanical design services. Mr. Presley has a BS in Mechanical Engineering from Texas A&M University. James Raum, System Engineer, Vice President API Engineering LLC Mr. Raum is vice president of API Engineering LLC and serves in roles as financial management as well as systems and test engineering. His background includes 32 years in aerospace research, design and development including 15 years in system and test engineering and 17 years in project management. He started his aerospace career at Ball Aerospace as test engineer on pointing sensors for GPS satellites. Later at Ball, Mr. Raum became project lead for various pointing mechanisms for satellite systems including surveillance, laser communication and scientific instrument applications. In 2009 Mr. Raum teamed up with Mr. Presley to form API Engineering. Mr. Raum has a BS in Engineering Science from Oakland University in Rochester, Michigan and MS in Engineering Design/Economics from University of Colorado in Boulder, Colorado. Scott Meyers, Systems Engineering Associate, API Tempe, Arizona Mr. Meyers experience includes 31 years in the research, design, development and manufacture of aircraft fluid control systems, nuclear power fluid control systems, and propulsion systems for aircraft and undersea vehicles. Mr. Meyers began his career at Westinghouse Hanford Company working on the breeder reactor program. He designed, developed and fabricated test vehicles and associated specialty instrumentation for nuclear reactor experiments. At Honeywell Inc. (formerly the Garrett Corporation), he directed the engineering development and production of the Torpedo MK50 Propulsion System energy system components. Other development programs at Honeywell Mr. Meyers played key roles in included: Long Term Mine Reconnaissance System vehicle propulsion system, the Mobile Multifunction Device torpedo decoy propulsion and control system, the Leave Behind Acoustic Source Stirling engine heater and Advanced Amphibious Assault, vehicle propulsion system. Mr. Meyers supports API s advanced concept work for undersea power systems.
