John Palmateer, a Technical Fellow for the past 14 of his 35-year career at The Boeing Co., focuses on developing and implementing metrology systems, which include computer-aided theodolites, tracking interferometers, laser projectors, AM/FM laser radar, as well as calibration and certification of these devices and accreditation of metrology software. Currently he is working on extending metrology systems from tooling applications to in-process measurements for control and inspection during fabrication and assembly. Palmateer has bachelor’s degrees in physics and mathematics, a master’s degree in electrical engineering, and a Juris Doctor in law.
