As a SDE I am looking to motivate the company to make an investment in the areas I am good at. Is there any strategy I can follow to accomplish that? Inspired in this article I believe I could start by proposing arguments like the following:
- The number of potentials clients
- The return of investment achieved by participating in low cost projects
- The utility of some personal projects I have already started
- Collaboration possibilities with the academia
Some acronyms:
- SDE: software development engineer, basically a software teste
- SDET: software development engineer in test, a software tester who also creates automation scripts for UI or API testing

This question appears to be off-topic. The users who voted to close gave this specific reason:
- "Questions asking for advice on a specific choice, such as what job to take or what skills to learn, are difficult to answer objectively and are rarely useful for anyone else. Instead of asking which decision to make, try asking how to make the decision, or for more specific details about one element of the decision.

I'm a bit confused, are you looking for the company to create a new role and board you, or are you looking for the company to make investments in your research fields?

Aug 15 at 22:49
@RandomUs1r: well, basically both. I am looking to move my field of work closer to my career (a way to overcome the paradox illustrated here: me.me/embed/i/21386917) and also to facilitate the creation of incentives to the researchers by starting an industry-academy collaboration.

@Joe Strazzere: I used the terms to express the difference between a manual tester and an automated one, the company also employs developers for the second role, so the definition might vary due to translation issues.

@JoeStrazzere and juanma (I take it by your username you are from a Spanish-speaking country :), I think that the word we are looking for SDET is Quality Assurance Engineer (QA), at least that's how it sounds a bit, and it's how I've usually translated similar roles from Spanish to English

Can it still be considered an engineering if little or no math is applied?

Is there any strategy I can follow to accomplish that? Inspired in
this article I believe I could start by proposing arguments like the
following:
- The number of potentials clients
- The return of investment achieved by participating in low cost projects
- The utility of some personal projects I have already started
- Collaboration possibilities with the academia
This looks like a good start.
You might want to:
- Discuss the size and types of investments that it would take to enter this new market successfully
- Discuss what role you specifically want to have
- Discuss the competitors in this market, their strengths, their weaknesses
- Discuss the future of this market, if it is growing, by how much
Be sure to emphasize the value to the company, and not so much the value to you personally.

This is gold, thank you Joe. How ever, you didn't mention anything about entrepreneurship, is it a feasible strategy to create my own product (e.g. library, plugin) and offer it to my employer? How mature should it be before I expose it? How do I convince the company to invest in an open source project?
– WaltzForZizi
Aug 15 at 23:47
Mmm... I see. Leaving aside the commercial intentions, and given that one of my goals is also to facilitate the interaction between industry and academy, I can still start an open source source DSP-QA project to call the interest of the people at my faculty and the people at my company.
