About Zachary Black

After graduating from The Pennsylvania State University - The Behrend College in May of 2016, I joined Naval Nuclear Laboratory and their Power Systems Development group as an Associate Engineer. Since then I have held multiple different roles within the company working on various Naval Platforms. This has given me the opportunity of meeting and working with sailors on how to improve equipment and their quality of life while also being apart of first of its kind, cutting edge developments. No matter the role or responsible, I proudly continue to support the mission of the U.S. Navy. At college I was involved from start to finish. My involvement included joining Triangle Fraternity, becoming an Engineering Ambassador for the School of Engineering, being elected President of the Interfraternity Council and basically anything I could get myself into. I am always open to new opportunities and networks. Feel free to message me or email me at anytime.
