Electronics Manufacturing Center

Transitioning manufacturing concepts to industry in support of the Navy

The Electronics Manufacturing Center is a Navy Manufacturing Technology (ManTech) Center-Of-Excellence, located within the Penn State Applied Research Laboratory. The EMC is able to draw on internal ARL and Penn State resources in solving manufacturing issues for the Navy in the area of electronics.

The EMC was formed in 2021 under NAVSEA contract N00014-21-D-7003 as one of seven Navy ManTech Centers-Of-Excellence. All of the centers centers assist the Navy in solving some of the more difficult issues in manufacturing of Navy platforms and the equipment that is installed in them.

ARL is committed to our employee’s health and well-being by supporting Penn State initiatives, local health officials, and government leaders in preventing COVID-19 in the workplace.

Our employees whose work or research can be done remotely, from home, are doing so. We have also given the opportunity of a flexible work schedule to assist our employees who have other obligations to consider. For those whose work or research requires them to be in our laboratories, offices, or on campus, we are following all protocols necessary to reduce the spread of COVID-19, including mandatory mask training, strict safety procedures, and a network of contacts for reporting any ill-feeling symptoms.

As new employees join our workforce, the above guidelines apply. 

You can be confident that we will maintain our vigilant enforcement of all COVID-19 protocols in our workplace to ensure the health and safety of everyone.

Our strength comes from our people… we are a diverse group of professionals who hail from all over this great Nation, with all kinds of experience and expertise. As a team, we will get through this together with patience, diligence, vigilance, and resilience.
