Materials branch chief vs materials research engineer

Differences between materials branch chief and materials research engineer duties and responsibilities

Materials branch chief example responsibilities.

• Establish procedures that manage critical factors such as moisture sensitivity, electrostatic discharge, storeroom temperature and FIFO inventory staging system.
• Analyze DOD and other government agency organizational logistic requirements with respect to mission requirements.
• Provide technical and functional guidance and project oversight to implement command wide administrative tracking and collaboration system network and server infrastructure.
• Direct all operations and resolutions to concerns regarding firefighting apparatuses and the properstorage of firefighting equipment.
• Invent thin film optical radiation transducers for IR scene projection devices using novel tune cavity absorber/emitter coating designs.

Materials research engineer example responsibilities.

• Manage and successfully complete carbon/epoxy material qualification and gain approval from FAA to use in manufacturing of composite aircraft parts.
• Determine the shear strength of composite specimens according to ASTM D5379 standards.
• Perform materials characterization using Raman, UV-Vis and FTIR spectroscopy; SEM and TEM.
• Company representative to ASTM for standards and specifications development including the coordination of round-robin testing.
• Invent thin film optical radiation transducers for IR scene projection devices using novel tune cavity absorber/emitter coating designs.
• Propose innovative cathode electron gun design to attach emitters to insulator component via laser welding, reducing production part count.
