Greene Tweed

• United States
• Manufacturing
• 700 & Above Employee

• Test Engineer II

  • Oct 2021 - Present

  As a member of the Central Engineering team I oversee mechanical and thermal analysis of PTFE materials carried out in Greene Tweed's materials laboratory as well as oversee our ISO 17025:2017 compliance and accreditation activities. My knowledge of ASTM standards and material testing is leveraged to provide insight and analysis regarding Greene Tweed's compliance to various customer and industry specifications as well as ensuring our compliance to our own material specifications. I take an active role in qualifying resin, investigating product failures and conducting data analysis. While I'm based out of our Kulpsville production facility but I also serve our other domestic and international sites. Show less

• Defense & Space
• 100 - 200 Employee

• Project/R&D Engineer

  • Jul 2014 - Jun 2017

  I worked on development programs for coating technology that enabled aeronautical crafts to navigate. My work consisted of researching and developing new ceramic and metallic materials that possess a coefficient of thermal expansion similar to a given base material as well as having specified electrical and mechanical properties. I also collaborated team members to design fixtures for producing said coatings in the most effective way given the allotted time for the program. If a program moved past the development phase I also participated in assembling and implementing custom equipment to perform tasks such as spray coating and screen printing, as well as producing written documentation of process development/work instructions for custom and purchased equipment.
