Job description

Applied R&D (AR) consists of target-oriented research either with the goal of solving a particular problem / answering a specific question or for multi-discipline design, development, and implementation of hardware, software, and systems including maintenance support. Supplies techno-economic consulting to clients. AR work is characterized by its detailed and complex nature in order to systematically combine existing knowledge and practices to further developing and incrementally improving products, operational processes, and customer-specific feature development.

Mechanical Hardware design comprises the specification, design, and implementation of mechanical assemblies while applying design targets such as low cost, high yield, and high reliability. Mechanical design requires a broad spectrum of skills including materials, design, simulation, ergonomics, aesthetic appeal and usability.
