This 2-day comprehensive hands-on training course is intended for ESD Program Managers, Manufacturing/Quality Engineers and Logistics professionals that package, handle, store, kit, assemble and transport ultra-sensitive electronics for compliance in low RH and extreme conditions.
Learn the most advanced and proven methods for ESD Compliance to Industry and Government Standards that meet and exceed traceable ESD requirements. Trending today is training that relies upon ESD Technical Reports, aka TRs, plus unproven practices for compliance in ambient conditions without traceability and High Risk for ESD reliability on land, air and sea.
Course Objectives: You will learn how to implement risk management solutions beyond traditional Visual Inspection and to identify and mitigate Suspect Counterfeit and Non-Compliant Packaging, Handling Practices, Storage, Kitting and Transportation, aka PSHKT, for Microelectronic Parts and Component protection. To meet the current and future workforce challenges for R&D, Advanced Manufacturing and Quality Standards, you will learn the trends and new developments for Risk Management needed for Packaging, Quality and Logistics professionals. A written exam will be administered by RMV. Digital credentials will be provided by Exemplar Global for the RTP Certified Training by RMV Technology Group LLC.
Receive iNARTE® international certification by Exemplar Global, ASQ family of companies, the independent third-party accreditation body that provides impartial certification based upon one’s level of expertise. The iNARTE® RTP Certified Short Courses are conducted by Bob Vermillion, CPP, Fellow, 2019 DoD Military Packaging Hall of Fame recipient, long standing ESDA Standards member and the NASA ESD Technical Authority. An internationally recognized SME on Electrostatics, Vermillion is widely published on ESD material and packaging challenges and solutions for next gen technologies on lunar surfaces and future Missions to MARS.

Industry Leader Bob Vermillion, CPP, Fellow and DOD Military Hall of Fame 2019 Recipient designs and teaches the uniquely developed iNARTE® ESD Space & Defense SME Training Courses specific to NASA, DoD and DOE, in collaboration with Exemplar Global, the international certification body and member of the American Society of Quality.
The iNARTE® short courses are intended for stakeholders that package, handle, store, assemble, inspect, test, design, kit, source and transport ESD circuit card assemblies and EEE parts, aka ESD Sensitive Devices.
Intended to meet the extreme conditions of Space & Defense, EEE parts protection, Material Handling, Shipping, Long-Term Storage, Kitting, Transport and Repair Returns are presented with a clear understanding of the source and control of static charges not only inside but also outside the ESD Protected Area, aka EPA or the Retail Environment.
Learn how to effectively kit EEE parts for long or short-term storage, how to inspect, detect and mitigate incoming non-compliance or suspect counterfeit materials. Unsupported assumptions found in Supplier Technical Data Sheets without test data for ESD compliance can negatively impact your current and future mission objectives.
Headquartered at NASA Ames Research Center since 2008, Bob Vermillion, a foremost Leader in ESD materials and SME in Electrostatics was named the ESD Technical Authority for NASA in 2018.
From development of an advanced NASA Mars Mission Approved ESD material and IoPP Ameristar Winner 2002 of the USA Top Electronics Packaging Engineering Design used on Navy submarines, Bob’s ESD anti-counterfeit ESD package was a precursor for today’s advanced methods.
Other Awards include IoPP College of Fellows, James A. Russell Lifetime Achievement Award for Packaging Protection of the WarFighter. Bob Vermillion is an iNARTE® Certified Product Safety & iNARTE® ESD Engineer.
RMV Technology Group LLC, a NASA Alliance Partner and Veteran Owned Small Business, is the largest and most advanced ESD Materials Test Laboratory on a NASA site. A valued resource for NASA, DoD, Academia and Industry, RMV qualifies materials and products to simulate challenging demands of land, air, sea and space for our nation and the Warfighter.
NASA, Military and vetted ANSI Standards and MIL Standards for physical and static control protection of EEE parts to withstand extreme temperatures and low Relative Humidity are critical for the safety and security of the Astronaut or Soldier.
As technology advances, the use of polymers, engineered materials and composites have rapidly replaced more traditional methods of EEE parts protection. Due to a lack of ESD basics, the upfront cost savings for Buyers of limited shelf-life materials and other non-compliant packaging not only raises the cost of replacement, but also damages a product intended for long term storage that does not meet the minimal standards for ESD compliance.
