Supinda Watcharotone
Senior R&D Engineer at Sunstar Americas
Current work
My current work involves generating new ideas, researching, engineering and developing new and next-generation products, ensuring they are of the highest quality. I work with the production department as well as our international manufacturers to transform ideas to prototypes. In my research work, I evaluate the feasibility of new products, which often requires new analytical test methods. I work with my team to develop new test methods, validate and subsequently expand our R&D lab capabilities. I manage a series of projects ranging from new concept and product development, existing product improvements, in vitro studies and clinical studies. Since my new role as Senior Engineer in 2018, I also generate development roadmaps, lead new technology initiatives and oversee all projects my team is working on.
Working at Sunstar
My colleagues and managers are an integral part of my accomplishments. Together, we successfully launched new products which in turn received multiple awards globally for innovation, high quality and consumer satisfaction. My managers foster an independent work environment, which allows me to think creatively, leading to several productive outcomes such as new patent filings, publications in scientific journals, conference presentations, research collaborations with the academic community. I set high standards for my work, which I believe is the key to success in developing high quality products.
Future goals

I look forward to continuing an effort to develop successful products and advance an oral health-related quality of life. I am driven to further contribute to the success for the company, enabling Sunstar to thrive in the future.
