You're probably right as long as no R&D Chemistry work or method development is involved. If it is, I'll just say I've never seen a good example of this in 10 years in industry.

I'm an example of this. But I also have a chemistry degree because my university curriculum was 4 class short of the degree. So took the summer courses and got it. Now I work R&D in a lab but also work on scaling to production.

You sound like an absolute godsend. It is a shame how difficult it can be for R&D chemists to understand how to properly scale a process, and for the engineers to make new ones.
