Hello

I’m Ryan Hattaway, the founder of Arc Defense Engineering Solutions. I’m a licensed Professional Engineer (PE) in both Electrical and Mechanical engineering, bringing a unique dual-discipline perspective to every project I take on. With years of experience in electrical and mechanical systems design, arc flash studies, short circuit studies, and protective device coordination, I specialize in helping facilities improve electrical safety, compliance, and system reliability.

My Story & Mission

I founded Arc Defense Engineering Solutions to bridge a critical gap in the industry: the need for agile, independent electrical engineering focused on uncompromising safety. Having managed complex electrical and mechanical systems across commercial, industrial, medical, and governmental sectors, I’ve seen firsthand that accurate, code-compliant arc flash studies are not just a requirement—they are a lifeline for both your personnel and your infrastructure.
My mission is straightforward: to deliver high-caliber technical expertise that ensures your organization exceeds NFPA 70E, NFPA 70B, and OSHA standards. By blending engineering precision with practical, real-world outcomes, I help you minimize risk and build a culture of safety that lasts.

My Expertise

With dual PE licensure, I understand both the electrical and mechanical aspects of building systems, which allows me to provide comprehensive and precise engineering solutions. My experience includes:

  • Arc Flash Studies & NFPA 70E Compliance

  • Short Circuit Studies & Fault Current Analysis

  • Protective Device Coordination Studies

  • Arc Flash Labeling & Electrical Safety Reporting

  • Electrical system modeling and optimization

 

This combination of skills ensures that every study or project completed is thorough, accurate, and actionable for facility managers, safety directors, and building owners.
