Martín Martínez is the Founder and President of Engineering Science Analysis Corporation (ESA) and has over 31 years experience in research and product development in support of defense, marine, aerospace, automotive, commercial, semiconductor, electronics, and industrial applications. Mr. Martínez has successfully managed and executed several SBIR contracts through Phase III.
Prior to launching ESA, Mr. Martínez was employed at AlliedSignal where he managed and led design efforts for implementing new technologies to Aerospace system accessories. As a program manager for the Engine Build Unit (EBU) in new business development, he acquired extensive knowledge of and experience with system components that fit within the engine nacelle, turbine wheel fragmentation containment concepts, commercial airline luggage container explosive containment concepts and he lead efforts involving these components. As an Engineering Specialist, he led the analysis definition, integration and implementation of third generation computer graphics (3GCG) engineering tools for use in the concept, design, engineering analysis, and manufacture of Aerospace system accessories. As the developer of next generation engineering analysis and design disciplines, Mr. Martínez automated the use of the empirical formulations used in containment ring armor designs and other critical aerospace components. Also while at AlliedSignal, he helped implement the advanced probabilistic design methods for brittle ceramic material structures (CARES), a program developed by NASA-LeRC. As an Engineering Team Lead in the Engineering Mechanics’ group, Mr. Martínez provided Structural-Thermal design and analysis efforts on the MK50 Torpedo after-body Stored Chemical Energy Propulsion (SCEPs) design and provided the same support for MK48, SeaWolf submarine and other undersea programs. At the Cerprobe Corporation, he led research and development activities as a Program Manager from 1996 to 1999.
Mr. Martínez has successfully implemented his industry experience into product research & development efforts at ESA. This has resulted in ESA’s SBIR-proven Product Design Innovation (PDI) and Integrated Product Design/Delivery & Support (IPDS) processes that develop engineering product design specifications from Voice Of the Customer (VOC) inputs. The processes use the VOC inputs as drivers to guide product development efforts in order to ensure that the end users’ specifications are directly embedded into the development of products. The use of these processes has resulted in the advancement of Phase I SBIR awards into multiple Phase II and Phase III commercialization efforts.
Mr. Martínez holds a patent for testing Semiconductors ‘Probe Assembly and Method for Switchable Multi-DUT Testing of Integrated Circuit Wafers’ – No. 5,923,178 and several patents (No.s 7,882,775 ; 7,997,825 and 8,066,446) for the SQUID Technologies developed as part of the DHS S&T Phase I, II, III SBIR.efforts and has patents pending for the Non-Lethal SQUID Technologies.
Mr. Martínez holds a Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Arizona (1984) and has completed graduate studies in fracture mechanics and theory of elasticity. He served as a member of the Governor’s Arizona Aerospace and Defense Commission as Chair for the Commission’s Research and Development Subcommittee. Mr. Martínez is also a member of the Aerospace and Mechanical Advisory Council in support of Aerospace Engineering and Mechanical Engineering at Arizona State University.
