Joseph Federico has worked for NJMET
since 1978 and has been directly involved in many of the company’s
innovative projects. In the 1980s, Joseph Federico set up a military

reliability of many electronic components for the military,
aerospace, automotive, and space design industries.
Joseph Federico has worked closely with clients including The Boeing Company, Honeywell International Inc., and British Aerospace in testing critical components. NJMET continued to grow during the 1990s, working with such large organizations as the United States Department of Defense, the Federal Communications Commission, and NASA, among others. Joseph Federico and his fellow professionals at NJMET also created a screening and qualification program that is still used for programs such as Northrop Grumman’s B-2 Spirit Stealth Bomber, the Boeing B-52 Stratofortress, NASA’s Space Shuttle, and Raytheon’s MIM-104 Patriot Missile.
Additionally, Joseph Federico has led NJMET into a new arena with an innovative counterfeit detection program, dubbed Mission Imposter®.
Joseph recently spoke about proper testing for counterfeit
electronics at the
DMSMS and Standardization conference in Hollywood, Florida.
Joseph Federico and NJMET are also
involved in charitable giving. NJMET
