About The Position

Pall Corporation, a Danaher company and a global leader in high-tech filtration, separation, and purification, is seeking an R&D Engineer to join their growing central R&D team (Filtration Technology and Device Design). This role is focused on New Product Development (NPD) of advanced filtration projects, driving innovation, and delivering differentiated product performance. The engineer will apply technical expertise in Chemical/Mechanical/Materials Engineering, particularly in micro/macro fluid-flow and materials structural-mechanical properties, to design liquid and gas filtration technologies. Responsibilities include designing, analyzing, and engineering new products with improved performance using engineering software and best practices. The role also involves becoming a subject matter expert (SME) in filtration technology, leading innovation, developing new technologies, and utilizing methodologies like Design of Experiments (DOE), D-FMEA, and P-FMEA. Effective communication with leadership, team members, cross-functional partners, and global teams is essential, as is collaboration with research and academic entities. The position is located onsite in Cortland, NY.

Requirements
