Be aware of developments in the technical community and competitor’s products to identify potential development opportunities or strategic technical threats.
5. Present research findings externally at international conferences and internally to senior management.
6. Work with both Waters and Clinical BU (Engineering and Service organisations) to implement improvements to Clinical Systems products to improve their quality, robustness, reliability and up-time.
7. Provide integration skills to drive the development and subsequent transfer of new technologies (including their requirements and specifications) into commercial instrumentation.
8. Produce Product Specification and Engineering Requirements documentation and provide design direction to the engineering development teams as required.
