Rami Akouri is a Materials/Mechanical Engineer with over 9 years of experience in the aerospace and defense industry, developing next-gen material solutions, and working through the challenges of scaleup and integration. He has extensive experience in the research and development of materials for extreme environments, electro-optical and infrared (EO/IR) materials, radio frequency (RF) materials, complex windows and radomes, nanomaterials, environmental and protective coatings, additive manufacturing, novel ceramic forming techniques, heat treatments, and composite materials. Earning his M.S. in Material Science and Engineering from Boston University and B.S. in Mechanical Engineering from Wentworth Institute of Technology, Rami’s multi-discipline background allows for creative thinking and thorough execution of tasks. In his early career, Rami worked hands-on, developing novel processes for emerging materials systems. As the technologies matured and gained further stakeholders, he led the transition of these technical processes developed in-house to outside, production relevant, suppliers. These tasks included composing product specifications, drawings, process documentation, acceptance test, and quality control plans. He also served in many roles including principle investigator for several Internal Research And Development (IRAD) projects, technical lead on Customer Research and Development (CRAD) programs, and a materials subject matter expert for several production programs. Rami never strays away from difficult challenges and is dedicated to continuous growth in new technology areas.
