  • Create prototypes of packaging designs and conduct rigorous testing to ensure they meet industry standards and customer expectations.
  • Analyze test results and iterate on designs to optimize performance and functionality.
  • Manage multiple packaging development projects from concept to completion, ensuring timely delivery and alignment with project goals.
  • Coordinate with suppliers, manufacturers, and other stakeholders to ensure the feasibility and scalability of packaging solutions.
  • Prepare detailed technical documentation, including specifications, test reports, and user guides for packaging solutions.
  • Ensure all documentation is accurate, up-to-date, and compliant with relevant regulations and standards.
  • Drive initiatives to develop sustainable packaging solutions that minimize environmental impact.
  • Stay updated on industry trends and technological advancements to continuously improve packaging designs and processes.

Qualifications :

  • Bachelor's degree in Packaging Engineering, Materials Science, Mechanical Engineering, or a related field.
  • 6-10+ years of demonstrable experience
  • Proven experience in packaging design and development, with expertise in both rigid and flexible packaging.
  • Strong understanding of material properties, manufacturing processes, and testing methods.
  • Expertise with blown film production, extrusion coating, extrusion lamination, roto / flexo printing, etc..

Relocation assistance will be provided to qualified candidates and compensation will be commensurate with experience.
