Ensure all technical outputs are properly documented, including:
drawings
specifications
material requirements
finish requirements
compliance requirements
Drive timely resolution of technical issues during development and pre-production stages.
Construction Standards & Technical FeasibilityDevelop and maintain standard construction guidelines for hospitality products to ensure strength, durability, consistency, and technical reliability.
Review construction methods, thickness standards, joint details, and material applications to support long-term hospitality use.
Define technical rules and best practices for loose furniture and related products to reduce risk of design weakness or inconsistency.
Support Product Development and Costing teams by providing technically sound construction options and feasibility feedback.
Ensure R&D outputs reduce risk of technical failure, repeated revisions, and production inefficiencies.
Sampling & Prototype Technical Validation
Support technical coordination of samples and prototypes required for design validation, construction testing, customer approval, and internal review.
Ensure sampling supports:
technical validation
material and finish feasibility
construction verification
quality expectations
Coordinate with Sample Workshop, Product Development, QA, and related departments to ensure samples are technically correct and completed on time.
Review and approve technical readiness before samples are released for customer evaluation or internal sign-off.
Ensure lessons learned from sample and prototype stages are captured and reflected in final drawings, specifications, and development standards.
Production Handover & Technical Support
· Ensure all R&D outputs are technically complete and accurate before handover to Engineering Technical and Production teams.
Confirm technical packages include all required design and construction information for downstream execution.
Support pre-production reviews, technical clarification, and problem-solving to reduce risk during production launch.
Ensure design changes are technically reviewed, documented, and communicated before production release.
Support Product Development in confirming that technical content within the handover package is complete and reliable.
Process & Systems Improvement
Develop and improve standard procedures for hospitality R&D activities, including:
design development workflow
drawing review
sample validation
technical approval
change management
production handover support
Support clear control of design revisions and technical changes in coordination with PM, Sales, Product Development, and Engineering Technical.
Support integration and accuracy of R&D information in ERP and related tracking systems.
Drive continuous improvement initiatives to enhance technical quality, documentation accuracy, and coordination efficiency.
Standardize technical documentation, drawing review practices, construction rules, and approval discipline across hospitality projects.
Team Leadership & Development
