Noman Maheri P.Eng

Nuclear systems, quietly built. Automation, hands-on.

I'm Noman — a nuclear systems engineer based in Toronto. By day I lead tooling at Bruce Power with ATS Industrial Automation; after hours I run a small home lab of mini-PCs, drones, and a bench of custom PCBs and firmware.

AboutBridging heavy tooling and the home bench.

I hold a degree in Nuclear Engineering from Ontario Tech University. Today I work as a Systems Engineer in the nuclear sector for ATS Industrial Automation, deployed heavily at the Bruce Power site. My work spans design calculations, FMEAs, risk assessments, integration, and on-site commissioning.

A big part of my recent focus has been acting as the tool lead for the MCR Auto Calandria Tube Installation — taking a complex piece of nuclear tooling end-to-end. Alongside that I've contributed to decommissioning work for KHNP Wolsong-1 and waste-management systems for Canadian Nuclear Laboratories.

Nuclear · robotics & tooling

MCR Auto Calandria tooling — first-ever robotic execution on a CANDU reactor.

Tool lead for the Major Component Replacement (MCR) Auto Calandria Tube Inspection project — owning the full development cycle and system integration, and spearheading the Auto Inspect initiative that achieved industry-leading robotic execution inside a CANDU reactor for the first time ever.

  • End-to-end ownership of tool development and system integration
  • First successful autonomous robotic inspection run on a CANDU unit
  • Design calculations, risk assessments and FMEAs
  • Systems design, verification and validation through on-reactor commissioning

Nuclear · waste & decommissioning

Waste, fuel and decommissioning consulting.

Specialized consulting across domestic and international nuclear projects — from fuel encapsulation to decommissioning dose and shielding analysis, communicated directly to global customers.

  • Fuel encapsulation project consulting
  • Built & operated a CNL low-to-high-level waste sorting facility
  • KHNP Wolsong-1 decommissioning — dose, waste & shielding reports
  • Led international customer meetings on technical findings
R&D · thermal aging & automation

Thermal aging studies and MATLAB test automation.

At Kinectrics, ran accelerated thermal-aging R&D on low-voltage cameras to characterise how they degrade and behave across their service life — and built MATLAB applications that automated the test rigs, acquired instrument data, and ran the statistical and graphical analysis.

  • Accelerated thermal-aging studies on low-voltage cameras to model long-term degradation and behaviour
  • Component-failure forensics & diagnostics on HV/MV/LV power cables
  • MATLAB applications automating tool & instrument testing end-to-end
  • Statistical and graphical analysis of acquired test data
Engineering · systems & V&V

Core systems engineering and validation.

Systems analysis across the full engineering lifecycle — bringing nuclear-grade rigour from kinematics, thermal and metrology through to verification, validation, and design review.

  • Kinematics, thermal, accuracy, cycle-time, vibration, metrology & reliability analysis
  • Design reviews with vendors, customers and internal engineering groups
  • SMR layout Capstone with the OPG Darlington New Nuclear team
