About Ian
Mr. Ian Read is a Project Engineer with nearly 25 years of experience as an Electrical Engineer. He specializes in electrical and electronic failure analysis, including design, installation, reliability, maintenance and operations. Mr. Read investigates the root cause of electrical and electronic equipment failures in commercial, residential, industrial and military systems. His forensic examinations determine loss origin and risk of failures; he then provides solutions to address the original design fault. Mr. Read is also experienced in systems reliability, maintainability, availability and testability, wherein he completes detailed reliability analyses to predict system performance factors such as probability of failure (reliability), mean time between failures, availability/uptime (or unavailability/ downtime), warranty costs, testability, maintenance and supportability calculations
