  • Complete analysis of materials and processes to ensure that processes and materials specified or required are compatible with the design and customer specification. Recommends corrective actions based on analysis of materials test results, and verifies that proper corrective action has been implemented • Maintains and controls company’s material coding system with the company’s information system and company’s system of process specifications, material specifications and other engineering documents. • Regulates test requirements, and modifies and writes test plans to evaluate the capability of a unit or component in accordance with military, FAA and ZSUS specifications. •Evaluate test lab technicians in flammability, chemical, adhesion, corrosion resistance, surface resistance, peel, shear, degradation. •Conduct R&D testing and quality assessments, material searches and research for new materials and material substitutions, failure mechanisms and structural material applications. •Sign off engineering drawings attesting all materials specified meet the requirements. Accomplishments: *** Perform, analysis and completion of cert testing and documentation for various programs 100% on time. *** Created new materials process specifications such as anodizing of Al alloys, chromate conversion coating of Al alloys, passivation of steel alloys, heat treatment of Al alloys/steels, injection molding of polycarbonate materials, inspection requirements for casting, composite spec *** Identified the root causes of de-bonding issues of adhesive backed loop/hook tape fasteners on different substrates which accounts for 40% of de-boning failure of Velcro’s and presented an improved method of applications. *** Developed and implemented a method to decrease the cure time of epoxy adhesive on composites by 80%. *** Wrote the material definition requirements for trim & finish (source control) drawings which resulted in 50% reduction in drawings rejection.
