Narrative:

Departing teb on the relatively new RUUDY2 departure off of runway 24. The pilot flying was new to the airplane type with less than 100 hours. The pilot flying briefed me on the departure procedure to include 'cross wentz intersection at or above 1;500 ft then climb to 2;000. We set 2;000 in the altitude window. The departure actually called for a climb to cross wentz 'at' 1;500 then climb to 2;000. The pilot flying climbed out at a higher rate of vertical speed to be as quiet as possible in the noise sensitive underlying area. As we switched to new york departure control we were approaching 1800 ft and about .8 miles from wentz intersection. The controller informed us we should be at 1;500 at wentz. We immediately descended to the proper altitude. There were no other deviations; no resolution advisories; or traffic advisories on the TCAS. The conditions were VFR and our traffic was in sight. We could have avoided this situation by spending more time going over the departure procedure; worrying less about noise abatement; and selecting VNAV mode as our vertical mode instead of vertical speed mode.

Title: A high performance corporate jet departed TEB empty on a ferry flight. The low time First Officer forgot the 1;500 FT altitude constraint and during a high climb rate noise abatement departure failed to level.
