Summary
I originally started as an in lab production personal assisting our SR Scientist Joseph Kelly, our SR Mechanical Engineer Brandon Smith, and our Product Development Engineer Ezra Grossinger with custom client prototypes, pilot production, and some full scale production for Latent Heat Solutions cliental from February of 2019 - September 1st, 2021.
I then got offered a position on September 1st of 2021 as a JR Product Development Technician and worked in a more hands on mineral and various compound creation alongside Joseph Kelly to help research and develop new material additions to our current Thermal materials we would offer clients.
Then on February 1st of 2024 I was offered the position, with a merit increase, to become a Laboratory Technician 1.

Certification
Our father company named CAVU Group would have all employees complete online training and then an electronic certification would be recognized once the video tests were passed.
We used monday.com and paylocity.com for training videos.
I did have a lot of in-person, in lab training and hands on with my SR Chemical Engineer Joseph Kelly for the following:
- Safety lab protocols
- Material handling protocols
- Data Interpretation & Analysis
- Excel spreadsheet data upload
- Project management
Majority of the training was like most companies to keep the employees aware of safety and hazards in a warehouse, lab or office setting. Who to contact if you don't know or are not licensed or certified.
General awarness & compliance standards.
