Taylor Knuth is a Business Continuity Engineer at Integrity Schools. Taylor has previous experience as a System Test Engineer at Northrop Grumman and a Graduate Research Assistant at Penn State University. In their role as a Graduate Research Assistant, they were the principal researcher for Ice Adhesion Strength Testing, sponsored by NASA Langley Space Center. Taylor also developed analysis to predict adhesion strength due to surface morphology variations and operated 10 ft. diameter helicopter rotor stand to simulate icing environment conditions.

In their role as a Solar Account Coordinator at Vivint Solar, they were responsible for acquiring and processing data by developing rigorous testing methods and programming test modules in LabView to measure ice loads and temperatures with strain gauges and thermistors. Taylor also did on-site data analysis using MatLab to calculate shear forces. Taylor is currently certified on safety practices for laboratory machinery and is developing an ASTM Standard for Aviation Adhesion Strength Testing under FAR Part 25 Appendix C regulations.

Taylor Knuth has a PhD in Aerospace, Aeronautical and Astronautical Engineering from UCL, a Master of Science in Aerospace, Aeronautical and Astronautical Engineering from Penn State University, and a Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering from Brigham Young University. Taylor also has a certification from NCEES in Fundamentals of Engineering-EIT.

Taylor Knuth reports to Josh Krueger, Chief Technology Officer. They work with Eric Even - Alignment Engineer, John Street - Provisioning Engineer, and David Dziekan - RemoteFix Engineer Team Lead.
