Development Engineer Duties and Responsibilities
The responsibility of a Development Engineer may vary widely depending on the type of product they are hired to invent, but there are some main duties common to the occupation. A review of current job listings identified the following primary tasks and responsibilities.
Conduct Research Development Engineers are often required to conduct research before they begin planning a new product. They must learn about the target audience, what products are currently on the market and what issues there are with current models. Their research will allow them to innovate a product or create a new product to fill a need discovered in the target audience. Some Development Engineers will perform the research themselves while others will have a team of researchers to complete this task. Regardless of who does the research, Development Engineers must be able to analyze the data and make interpretations and decisions based on it.
Create Prototypes After researching and deciding on a product to create, the Development Engineer work on building a prototype to show to management. This is a very important step in convincing others that their design is valid and functional. It is also how the Development Engineer determines what aspects of their design will work and which need to be modified or adjusted.
Determine Manufacturing Specs Development Engineers also work on the specifics of the manufacturing process. They must determine which materials are best for the construction of the product as well as what will be entailed in the manufacturing process and what techniques will be used. Development Engineers will usually consult with other engineers and specialists to create a successful manufacturing plan.
