2017 Engineering Leader Under 40: Nathaniel Kay, PE, 38

Project Manager, MartinCSI, Plain City, Ohio

BS Electrical & Computer Engineering, Youngstown State University

Nathaniel graduated from Youngstown State University Summa Cum Laude. He chose to work with control systems because he enjoys the variety it provides. “I enjoy researching new technologies that merge IT with control systems, and science and engineering has always been a passion of mine." He’s been with MartinCSI for nearly 12 years. In those years, he has earned a professional engineer designation and been promoted to Project Manager. He is a team player, and always takes the time and effort to mentor junior team members. Customers have even specifically asked for Nate because of his good-natured reputation. Nate trains and mentors all of the new engineers at MartinCSI, and is the go-to man for any questions or concerns they may have. In his spare time, he is an avid SCUBA diver. Naturally, he enjoys travelling to Hawaii with his family to take advantage of his SCUBA certification. As a fan of mixing the best of the old with the new, he remains the proud owner of a Commodore 54.
