R & D

It takes a special person to work in research and development environments. R&D demands every skill a business employs… someone who enjoys working with others, is organized and inquisitive, anticipates events, has “on the fly” mitigation skills, is respectful of others and can communicate. Oh, and enjoys an environment that is both controlled and uncertain. Yum!
