After earning his Bachelor of Science Degree in Chemistry from Bucknell University, Amos became a Chemistry teacher in the Christiana School District. Shortly thereafter, he joined Gore in 1997 as a Manufacturing Chemist where he worked to continuously improve adhesive processing and performance while collaborating with downstream partners to ensure products’ fitness for use. In 2001, Amos became a Thermal Analyst with Gore where he delivered results and analysis for troubleshooting and new product development projects. During his time in this role, he returned to school in 2003 to work toward his Masters of Material Science at the University of Delaware.

He then transitioned within the Enterprise to Characterization Technologist where he provided broad fluoropolymer characterization knowledge within Gore’s Core Technology and worked with scientists and engineers to develop meaningful R&D test methods, including introducing some new characterization methods. He continued to develop deep materials understanding through multi-faceted characterization efforts and the exploration of new materials.

As of 2018, Amos moved to his current role as an Enterprise Capabilities Associate where he shares Gore’s technical capabilities with current and potential customers to generate new business opportunities and partnerships. This takes place in the Gore Capabilities Center which provides an interactive experience to showcase Gore’s deep understanding of material science and how it’s applied to provide creative solutions to a variety of technical problems.

In addition to his work at Gore, Amos has developed and supported multiple training courses and technical conferences. He has delivered dozens of technical presentations to engineering and research groups and champions the largest technical meeting within Gore which promotes collaboration across all divisions and regions.
