While working as a Chemist for Polymer Synthesis. I identified reaction in epoxidation, urethane, PUD, acrylates, and latex. I obtained information to write project proposals and gathered experimental data to complete projects. I analyzed polymers to determine the necessary properties and presented findings to customers. I authored scale up procedures to improve processes and products.

As a Chemist at Laird Technologies I worked on the High Performance thermal interface and thermal management materials. I developed 2 new products and assisted in developing 3 additional products, which contributed to adding over 2 million in sales.

My work in product development involved sourcing new materials, conducting experiments using design of experiments and other Six Sigma techniques, conducting reliability and performance testing, and writing support documentation for customers. I also assisted in ongoing customer support by conducting reliability testing on existing products and updating documentation as needed. I set up testing equipment and wrote SOP’s. Laird provided training for Six Sigma, Green belt and Design for Six Sigma. During my time at Laird the company was working on maintaining their ISO 9001 certification and receiving their TS16949 certification, so I have experience with the documentation required and the audit process.
