Research & Development (R&D) Engineer — Job Description

Summary
Drive innovation by designing, prototyping, testing, and scaling new products, processes, or technologies from concept through pilot and handoff to production.

Key Responsibilities

Lead concept development, feasibility studies, and technology evaluations to address product or process requirements.
Design, build, and iterate prototypes, proof-of-concepts, and experimental setups.
Plan and execute experiments; collect, analyze, and interpret data to inform design decisions.
Develop technical specifications, design documentation, and validation plans.
Collaborate with cross-functional teams (product, manufacturing, QA, supply chain, regulatory) to ensure designs meet requirements and are manufacturable.
Translate lab-scale results into scalable processes; support pilot runs and scale-up activities.
Implement engineering best practices for design controls, versioning, and change management.
Use simulation, modeling, and analytical tools (FEA, CFD, multibody, chemical process simulation) as applicable.
Develop and maintain test fixtures, measurement systems, and data acquisition setups.
Identify and mitigate technical risks; drive root-cause analysis and corrective actions for failures.
Manage prototypes, BOMs, supplier relationships, and component sourcing for R&D projects.
Protect IP: document inventions, support patent filings, and maintain confidentiality.
Mentor junior engineers and participate in design reviews and technical forums.
Track project timelines, budgets, and technical milestones; report progress to stakeholders.

Required Qualifications

Bachelor’s degree in an engineering discipline (Mechanical, Electrical, Chemical, Materials, Biomedical, or relevant field) or equivalent experience.
2+ years R&D, product development, or engineering design experience (adjustable by role level).
Strong hands-on prototyping skills and familiarity with fabrication tools and lab equipment.

Experience with testing methodologies, data analysis (Python, MATLAB, R), and instrumentation.
Strong problem-solving, experimental design, and documentation skills.
Ability to communicate technical concepts clearly and collaborate across disciplines.

Preferred Qualifications

Advanced degree (MS/PhD) in relevant field for specialized roles.
Experience in your industry domain (consumer products, medical devices, semiconductors, chemical processes, energy).
Knowledge of manufacturing processes (injection molding, machining, PCB assembly) and DFM principles.
Familiarity with regulatory standards (ISO 13485, FDA, IEC) where applicable.
