## Research Engineer, MechanicalApplylocations: Newark, DE (ICD) - R&D - Customer Processestime type: Full timeposted on: Posted Todayjob requisition id: R10093909R10093909 Research Engineer, Mechanical (Open)Location:Newark, DE (ICD) - R&D - Customer ProcessesThe Innovation and Development Division (IDD) drives the innovation strategy for the Hubs and Operations, and contributes to the Group's transformation. It is responsible for imagining, developing and incubating new solutions until they are brought to market, particularly when it comes to offers with a high technological content (including digital and IT). IDD gathers more than 3,000 employees from 70 nationalities at 60 sites.## **How will you CONTRIBUTE and GROW?**A Research Engineer is expected to operate at the cutting edge of our technology, driving the development of first-of-their-kind prototypes and products. This role exists to bridge the gap between early-stage R&D innovations and real-world customer pilot deployments. The successful candidate will be a driven self-starter with a rigorous approach to problem-solving, capable of seamlessly integrating mechanical design, electrical circuitry, and software into fully functional, industrial-grade systems. Ultimately, this role accelerates our time-to-market; true success for this position is defined as validating these prototypes in the field, independently navigating technical roadblocks, and executing a seamless hand-off to our internal engineering and operations teams for full-scale commercialization and lifecycle management.# **At Air Liquide, we RESPECT, HONOR and VALUE diversity.**# **Air Liquide is Hiring for a Research Engineer - Newark, DE.**# ***We are looking for you !**** **Comprehensive Family Benefits:** Airgas offers a full benefits package designed to support your whole life, including Medical, Dental, Vision, Life, AD&D, and Disability Insurance.* **Support for Parents:**We offer up to 14-week paid child birth benefits to support growing families.* **Future Security:**401(k) Retirement Plan with company match, Tuition Assistance, Paid Holidays, Vacation, and Sick time.* Early Access: Your benefits start after just 30 days of employment ( Day 1 for Air Liquide) / Your benefits start after just 1 day of employment## **Recruiter: Deondre Taylor |** **[e-mail]****| [phone]*** ****System Design and Integration:**** Lead the end-to-end design of full prototype systems in a logical and systematic manner. Integrate mechanical components, electrical circuits, and software to create first of their kind prototypes for pilot.* ****Customer Pilot Deployment & Tech Transfer:**** Deploy and validate prototypes directly at customer pilot sites in a professional and technical capacity. While you will champion the pilot phase, your objective is to package the technical solution, documentation, and operational parameters for a hand-off to the business-led engineering and operations teams who will take over the product.* ****Technical Problem Solving:**** Diagnose complex system failures during the prototyping phase to maintain project momentum. Employ strong problem-solving skills to engineer immediate, effective solutions without shying away from necessary design pivots.* ****Cross-Functional Collaboration:**** Collaborate with R&D scientists, engineering sales, strategy teams, and critically, internal operations, to align the prototype with market demands and internal manufacturing capabilities. Ensure clear communication across all business units.* ****Project Organization:**** Organize prototyping schedules, resource allocations, and technical documentation efficiently. This flexible approach ensures pilot deployments remain on track and within scope until the official operational hand-off is complete.## \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_## ## Are you a MATCH?### ## ****Required Qualifications:***** Master or Bachelor in Mechanical, Electrical, or Software Engineering.* Specialized Knowledge: Deep understanding of full-system architecture and taking concepts from the lab, through pilot.* Skills: Computer Aided Design (CAD), 3D Printing, General assembly and use of machine tools, Software experience (C++, Python, Others), Exceptionally strong organizational skills, and excellent interpersonal skills.* At least 3 years of experience; Proven track record in rapid prototyping, equipment design, system integration, and technology transfer to manufacturing/operations.* Strong commercial and business acumen to understand how technical solutions integrate into customer operations and our own internal supply chain.* Ability to translate highly complex technical engineering concepts into straightforward standard operating procedures for the broader business.
