Research Development Process Engineer information

What does a Research Development Process Engineer do?

A Research Development Process Engineer is responsible for designing, developing, and optimizing processes in research and product development settings. They work to improve efficiency, quality, and scalability of new products or technologies by bridging the gap between research and manufacturing. Their role often involves collaborating with scientists, engineers, and production teams to ensure that innovative concepts can be effectively and safely produced at a larger scale. They also analyze data, troubleshoot problems, and implement improvements to meet regulatory and business requirements.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a Research Development Process Engineer, and why are they important?

A Research Development Process Engineer requires a solid background in chemical or process engineering, problem-solving abilities, and typically a bachelor's or master's degree in a relevant field. Familiarity with process simulation software (such as Aspen Plus or MATLAB), statistical analysis tools, and industry-specific certifications like Six Sigma are often expected. Strong analytical thinking, teamwork, and effective communication distinguish top performers in this role. These skills ensure successful innovation, efficient process optimization, and seamless collaboration in research-driven engineering environments.

What are the main challenges Research Development Process Engineers face when transitioning projects from R&D to full-scale production?

One of the primary challenges Research Development Process Engineers encounter is ensuring that innovative processes developed in the laboratory can be effectively scaled up for manufacturing without compromising quality or efficiency. This often involves troubleshooting unforeseen issues, optimizing process parameters, and collaborating closely with cross-functional teams such as manufacturing, quality assurance, and supply chain. Navigating regulatory requirements and managing tight project deadlines are also common hurdles. Successful engineers leverage strong problem-solving skills and clear communication to bridge the gap between research concepts and practical, large-scale implementation.

What is the difference between Research Development Process Engineer vs Research Scientist?

AspectResearch Development Process EngineerResearch Scientist
Primary FocusDeveloping and optimizing manufacturing processes and workflowsConducting scientific research to generate new knowledge or products
Work EnvironmentIndustrial labs, manufacturing facilitiesAcademic or industrial research labs
Required CredentialsBachelor’s or Master’s in Engineering, Chemistry, or related fields; certifications in process improvementMaster’s or PhD in Science or Engineering
Industry UsageManufacturing, chemical, pharmaceutical industriesAcademic, R&D departments, biotech, pharmaceuticals

Research Development Process Engineers focus on translating research into scalable manufacturing processes, while Research Scientists primarily conduct experiments to advance scientific knowledge. Both roles require strong technical skills but differ in application and environment.

Job description

About ANA: 
Join a recognized industry leader - Alliance North America was proudly named a 2025 Top Workplace in the Manufacturing Industry, an honor based entirely on feedback from our own employees about our culture, values, and workplace experience.
 
Alliance North America was established in 2017 and is proud to be the sole North American supplier of AIRMAN Power Generators, AIRMAN Air Compressors, and ANA's patented EBOSS Hybrid Energy System and Smart load bank system. Our commitment to our customers is to Make their World Easier, by answering the phone, understanding their needs, and taking ownership to provide them solutions. With a large parts inventory and more than 90% of all orders shipping within 24 hours, you never have to worry about spare parts. We help keep your fleet in top condition with our world class Support Department, who are always ready to help and be a resource by providing training on our equipment.
 
ANA is headquartered in Henderson, Nevada with locations in Cypress, California and Spartanburg, South Carolina. ANA is growing and scaling and we are seeking a Process Engineer II in an onsite position in Henderson, Nevada.  As a Process Engineer II, you will be responsible for developing, launching, and continuously improving assembly processes for generators, hybrid power systems, and compressors.  Strong focus on post-launch optimization, BOM/SOP improvement, and collaboration with Industrial Engineering.
 
The position is fully onsite, and the work schedule is weekdays from 8:00 AM-5:00 PM. 
Role & Responsibilities:
  • Develop and launch assembly processes, workflows, and line layouts
  • Define standard work, cycle times, and assembly sequencing
  • Lead process validation activities, including PFMEA and Control Plans
  • Drive post-launch process improvements (cycle time, yield, downtime, throughput)
  • Drive and Collaborate with Industrial Engineering on:
    • Line balancing & labor optimization
    • Ergonomics and workstation design
  • Continuously improve BOMs (eBOM mBOM alignment) and SOPs
  • Support assembly of generators, hybrid systems (ESS/battery), and compressors
  • Troubleshoot production issues and implement shop-floor driven solutions
  • Support and implement engineering changes (ECO/ECN)
  • Develop and deliver operator training; maintain skills/certification tracking
  • Other duties as assigned
Qualifications:
  • Bachelor's degree in Mechanical, Industrial, Electrical, or Manufacturing Engineering
  • 2 -4 years in assembly/process engineering
  • Experience with PFMEA, Control Plans, and process validation
  • Strong background in post-launch process improvement
  • Hands-on experience with electromechanical systems
  • Experience with BOM management and SOP development
  • Experience with generators, compressors, or hybrid/energy systems
  • Familiarity with ERP / MES / PLM systems
  • Ability to read electrical & mechanical drawings
  • Experience working with Industrial Engineering teams

Preferred Qualifications:

  • Experience using AI tools in a practical work environment is a plus but not required. This role does not require software development or programming experience. We are looking for someone who is open to using AI as a tool to help improve process documentation, standard work, SOPs, work instructions, training materials, PFMEA and control plan drafts, data review, and continuous improvement activities.
  • The ideal candidate is curious, practical, and able to use AI tools responsibly while still relying on engineering judgment, shop floor validation, and input from operators and cross functional teams.

Key Impact Areas:

  • Improve assembly efficiency & throughput
  • Reduce defects, rework, and downtime
  • Strengthen process robustness (PFMEA) and control effectiveness (Control Plans)
  • Increase BOM accuracy and SOP clarity
  • Accelerate operator training and productivity
