R&D isn’t a job title, it is a broad classification. Many jobs can fall under the title of R&D. Scientists, engineers, product designers…etc

Imagine I run sandwich factory. My R&D workers may be experimenting with mixing new ratios of flour and water for new bread types, or they may try new combos of meats, cheeses, and condiments.

Once they come up with something tasty, the work passes to the factory line, and they produce the sandwiches, and other people in the company go out and make advertising and sell the sandwiches.

TL:RD. The R&D people are inventors, and anyone who works on creating a new technology or product. Everyone else in the company produces, maintains, and sells what the R&D team ivented.
