  • Conduct performance testing (drop, vibration, temperature, humidity) to validate packaging designs
  • Analyze packaging cost and performance, identifying opportunities to improve efficiency and reduce waste
  • Collaborate with manufacturing, supply chain, IT, and quality teams to troubleshoot packaging issues and implement improvements
  • Ensure packaging designs meet compliance requirements and customer specifications
  • Lead or support audits of packaging suppliers and assist in corrective action planning

  • Bachelor’s degree in Packaging Engineering or a related field
  • 5+ years of experience in packaging design, development, or engineering
  • Proficiency in CAD software (any platform)
  • Knowledge of packaging testing methods and materials performance
  • Strong problem-solving and cross-functional collaboration skills
