R&D&I manager. Researcher, R&D engineer
Description
R&D engineers are responsible for researching, planning and developing possible improvements to the products manufactured by their company, either in the product's base technology or in the manufacturing process. They are responsible for the design, execution, coordination and development of projects that must become new products in the future.
These professionals must have a great capacity for technological innovation and the development of new products or their components. It must be taken into account that, given the size of the companies in some industrial sectors (for example, in the automotive industry or in the railway and industrial vehicles industries), the R&D&I engineer must lead a group of technicians or techniques with a high level of specialization.
Their work is aimed at increasing the value of the characteristics of the products in terms of safety, precision, performance, weight, etc. To carry out this task, in addition to have a vision of the future, these professionals need to be aware of the latest technological advances and technology transfer applied to other products and that may respond to customers' needs. Likewise, they carry out research projects on new materials, new applications and the development of new technologies for companies. On the occasions when companies do not have their own R&D&I department, the R&D&I engineers' work is an alternative to outsource the development and testing of new products using research equipment to carry out tests of resistance, service life or wear, for example.
