Eric Zouzounis has a diverse work experience spanning over two decades. Eric started their career in 1997 as a Recertification Technician at Hewlett-Packard, where they worked on re-certifying microwave components. After a brief period, they moved on to Spectraswitch as an R&D Engineer, where they designed and ran automated tests for photonic components.

In 2001, Zouzounis joined LeatherLoft as an Assistant Manager, responsible for retail sales management. Eric then transitioned to Dow Pharmaceutical Sciences in 2002 as a Chemist 1, where they performed physical product analysis and followed good manufacturing and laboratory practices.

From 2005 to 2006, Zouzounis worked at SpatiaLight, Inc. as a Junior Engineer, focusing on the development and optimization of Si-CMOS based devices. Eric utilized deposition techniques and conducted optical polarization analyses.

Zouzounis then joined GKN Aerospace Transparency Systems in 2007 as a Sr Product/Process Development Engineer. In this role, they developed coating processes for aircraft passenger and side windows, conducted optical, electrical, and thermal analysis, and managed qualification of pre-production transparencies.

In 2012, Zouzounis moved on to Innova Dynamics as a Device Performance and Reliability Engineer. Here, they worked on developing coating and processing solutions for aerospace applications of transparent conductive coating.

Zouzounis then joined Argil in 2016, initially as a Sr. Process Engineer and later as a Principal Process Development Engineer. At Argil, they played a key role in process development and worked on various projects until their departure in 2020.
