§ 03FREQUENTLY ASKED
Q.01
Do I need a PhD for research roles?
Many research scientist positions prefer or require a PhD. However, research engineer roles often accept a Master's degree with strong publications or demonstrated research experience. Some industry labs value practical impact over credentials.
Q.02
What is the difference between applied and fundamental research?
Fundamental research explores new theories and algorithms without immediate product application. Applied research takes state-of-the-art techniques and adapts them for production systems. Most industry roles lean toward applied research.
Q.03
Can I publish papers in an industry research role?
Many space and AI companies encourage publishing at top venues like ICRA, RSS, CoRL, NeurIPS, and CVPR. Publication policies vary, so check with specific companies during the interview process.
