Experience
Mr. Teti has more than 18 years experience in the field of mechanical engineering. For more than half of his career Mr. Teti worked in the field of composite materials analyzing and designing high performance composite structures. Mr. Teti has joined Materials Research & Design (MR&D) as a Program Manager in 2001. In addition to program management, Mr. Teti’s responsibilities include, application of micromechanical materials models for material property predictions and correlation’s, design and analysis of composite materials and structures using finite element analysis and various numerical methods. Mr. Teti has work in areas focusing on thermal protection systems, re-entry leading edges, rocket nozzles, CMC life prediction models, and combustor structures, progressive failure criteria of composite joints with woven fiber pre-form inserts and the analysis of the effects of defects in ceramic matrix composites. During the period 1995 to 2000 Mr. Teti worked At MR&D on a part time basis.
From November 2000 to July 2000 Mr. Teti was employed by Lucent Technologies Bell Labs Optoelectronic Center in Breiningsville PA as Member Technical Staff in Fiber Amplifier Product Engineering Group.
As Product Engineer Mr. Teti was responsible for management and coordination of all technical issues related to the production of several erbium doped fiber amplifiers in the Lucent product line. The amplifiers were used in terrestrial based fiber optic transmission systems for Tycom Submarine Systems Inc. Technical issues include optical design; physical design, electrical design and manufacturability. Additional responsibilities included parametric amplifier performance, production yields, process improvement and quality through statistical analysis process characteristics and sensitive variables.
From May 1998 to November 2000 Mr. Teti worked as a Facilities Engineer at Visteon Automotive Systems formerly Ford Electronics and Refrigeration Corp. in Lansdale, PA, where he was responsible for plant layout, floor space management, assembly line integration of production equipment, power distribution and gas supply, LEAN cell development and design. Prior to his assignment as Facilities Engineer Mr. Teti spent three years (May 1995–May 1998) as an Equipment Design Engineer at Ford Electronics and Refrigeration Corporation, Equipment Development and Test Div., Kulpsville, PA.
As an Equipment Design Engineer Mr. Teti worked on the development of highly customized automatic test fixturing and product handling devices for the testing of Ford electronic modules such as speed controls, electronic engine control, electric vehicle traction inverters. Automation projects were developed in close cooperation with product design teams and manufacturing engineers.
From 1990 to 1995 Mr. Teti worked as a Project/Research Engineer at Materials Science Corporation (MSC) in Fort Washington, PA. As Project Engineer Mr. Teti’s responsibilities included studies for the development of non-eroding nozzles systems and integrated design and manufacturing systems for optimized solid rocket motor cases. During these studies he researched designed and analyzed material systems and structures which included chemical vapor depositions of HfC,TaC,SiC and molybdenum to form nozzle liners. These studies were primarily conducted for the Advanced Kinetic Energy hyper-velocity Missile (ADKEM).
Various other analysis responsibilities have included buckling stability analysis of carbon-carbon satellite panels, passive structural damping for naval vessel signature reduction, development of failure criteria for composite rib-stiffened hulls, bolted composite joint strength analysis and thermal analysis of rocket nozzle materials and systems. These studies were completed using micromechanical property prediction models and finite element analysis.
While at Materials Sciences Corporation Mr. Teti co-authored several papers related to composite materials research, design and analysis.
From 1988 to 1990 Mr. Teti served as process engineer and Product Team Leader (PTL) on the speed control servo process at Ford Electronics and Refrigeration Corporation in Lansdale PA. His responsibilities included technical supervision of a group of four junior and senior engineers in the areas of on-going multimillion dollar capitol improvements of automation for cost reduction, process quality control, and technical support for automated assembly and test equipment, new model program launches. He was also responsible for monthly priority action summaries and trend tracking in the areas of process yield, customer concerns, equipment utilization and scrap.
