Where applicable, oversee independent external testing and certification to industry-accepted packaging standards.
Work with suppliers and manufacturers to source and supply packaging materials.
Use CAD software to design and model secure and space-optimized packaging, including internal partitions, void fillers, or other features.
Develop a global standard for branding and graphic design of packaging and labelling.
Implement the packaging and packing solutions into the company’s production and fulfilment processes.


Required Skills and Experience:

5+ years post-qualification experience in design, development, testing, and deployment of sustainable packaging for small and mid-size industrial products, especially related to shock, vibration, and environmental protection for electronic products.
Ability to document designs, create 2D/3D CAD models and provide detailed print drawings to vendors.
Understanding of regulatory packaging requirements (e.g. ISO 18601) for the US, EU, and other countries.
Knowledge of supply chain logistics, logistics infrastructure, and multi-modal transportation
Experience in materials technology, packaging optimization, consolidation, and standardization.
Graphic Design & branding.


Preferred Skills & Experience:

Certified Packaging Professional (CPP) or Certified Packaging Laboratory Professional (CPLP)
