  • Investigative mindset with a natural inclination to question assumptions and explore alternatives
  • Experience working in startups, small teams, or early-stage product environments
  • Exposure to prototyping, proof of concept development, or R&D style work
  • Familiarity with Agile or iterative development approaches
  • Past working experience with Project Management principles, such as PMBOK. PMP certification desirable but not required.

Accountability
This role is accountable for:
  • Completion of defined R&D deliverables across all phases (marketability, feasibility, cost)
