R&D Engineer

• R&D who works on product development and research for new products and materials
• Research engineers must also keep an eye out for other uses of the products upon which they are working
• Dual uses of new developments - for example, in homes as well as in industry, or in medicine as well as in space technology - will increase earnings that stem from the development of a product
• Skills required: needs to have background in chemical or materials engineering with knowledge of product development, research and development, in depth knowledge of material properties and application, documentation, English
• A research engineer may work in or supervise a research department

Some duties of a research engineer include:

• Analyzing, implementing, and testing the materials developed in a research lab/factory Development of new product
• Rapid prototyping for test trials
• Working with engineering team for assisting them in case of any trouble shooting
• Using accepted methods and techniques, assist with the design, development, implementation, and analysis of technical engineering products, systems and subsystems
• Learn and apply standard practices and techniques in specific situations, correlate data, recognize discrepancies in results, and follow operations through a series of related detailed steps or processes
• Contribute to experiments/tests in the laboratory/field to test, prove, or modify theoretical propositions on the basis of research findings and experiences of others researching in related technical areas; may include taking measurements and recording observations, collecting, compiling and processing data
• Contribute data/findings for use in technical reports, documents, or oral/written presentations
• Creating designs for instruments or devices based on innovative concepts so that they are functional
• Writing research and grant proposals and maintaining contact with research sponsors
• Coordinating a team of researchers and staff working on a project Interact in a collaborative manner with other team members, engineers, and scientists to accomplish organizational goals; may provide ideas to improve efficiency at group level
