Key Responsibilities

•Conduct applied research at TRL 1–3: define research questions, design experiments, and validate fundamental principles
•Design, build, and test prototypes to demonstrate proof of concept, using 3D modelling tools, production techniques, and hands-on experimentation
•Work across domains including sensor technology, hydraulics, materials science, IoT, digital twins, and AI/ML applications
•Monitor relevant scientific literature, patent landscapes, and industry developments and connect them with relevant internal topics
•Plan and manage R&D projects using iterative methods, breaking work into manageable phases with regular evaluation moments
•Apply stage-gate processes to structure innovation and make go/no-go decisions at key milestones
•Create realistic project timelines, identify technical risks early, and propose mitigation strategies
•Adapt project plans when unexpected results arise, without losing sight of the end goal
•Present research findings clearly and convincingly, both internally and externally
•Translate complex technical concepts into understandable language for decision-makers and business stakeholders
•Document research findings, test results, and technical reports in a structured and traceable manner
