He is the chair of the Environmentally Controlled Areas Team, a multi-disciplined group of material scientists, instrumentation, facilities, manufacturing, environmental health and safety, information systems, audit and management personnel. He was the founding member of the team and has staffed and managed the group since its inception in 2003. Gordon is Site Champion for design for manufacture using numerical methods.

Gordon started his entrepreneurial development at twenty-three, when he invented a massively parallel optical information system. The effort provided invaluable insight into venture capital practices, and the impact of tax changes, market conditions, and communications on start-ups. He was the primary inventor for Parallax Engineering’s initial product. The conditions of sale of that start-up to another stereo video manufacturer allowed him to continue in quality assurance in a motion control firm where he was the senior quality engineer and into line management roles.
