Research And Development Engineer

Key Responsibilities: 1. Product Development & Design • Design and develop ergonomic and functional products including wheelchairs, office chairs, cushions, orthotics, and insoles. • Ensure user-centric design with a focus on comfort, biomechanics, safety, and performance. 2. Material & Component Selection • Research and identify suitable materials (e.g., memory foam, EVA, TPU, aluminium alloys, breathable fabrics). • Evaluate material performance, cost-efficiency, and sourcing feasibility. 3. Prototyping & Testing • Build and iterate prototypes; validate performance through lab and field testing. • Conduct durability, load-bearing, fatigue, and comfort tests as per the requirement. • Incorporate feedback from users and clinicians (especially for orthotics and seating systems). 4. Manufacturing & Vendor Coordination • Collaborate with outsourced manufacturers and suppliers for timely sample development and production. • Provide engineering support to resolve manufacturing challenges and optimize processes. • Review production samples, troubleshoot defects, and implement corrective actions. 5. Documentation & Compliance • Maintain BOMs (Bill of Materials), specifications, and technical documentation. • Ensure compliance with relevant regulatory and 6. Cross-functional Collaboration • Work closely with R&D, marketing, quality control, and sourcing teams. • Support marketing with technical inputs for product packaging, manuals, and sales materials. 7. Continuous Improvement & Innovation • Explore new technologies (e.g., 3D printing, smart textiles, lightweight structures) for product enhancement. • Benchmark competitor products and identify innovation opportunities in comfort, adjustability, and user mobility. 8. Field & User Testing • Coordinate field trials with, end-users to gather real-world data. • Analyse user feedback and iterate designs for functional and aesthetic improvements. Show more Show less
