William E. Young (b. 1920- d. 2002) was a research engineer with Westinghouse Electric & Manufacturing Company in Pittsburgh. Originally from Vermont, he received his master's and doctoral degrees in mechanical engineering from University of Pittsburgh. He began working for Westinghouse in 1941 and worked at the Forest Hills Research Center and Westinghouse Research Center in Churchill over his tenure with the company. Projects he worked on included atomic research for the Manhattan Project and the development of a jet engine for the United States Navy.
