Packaging Engineer

An engineering professional who applies scientific knowledge, engineering knowledge, mathematics, and ingenuity to complete assignments related to packaging commodities, process and.

• Responsible for addressing regulatory requirements related to packaging medical devices.
• Responsible for compliance with applicable policies and procedures.
• Plans and conducts small- to medium-size assigned packaging engineering projects that may include developing packaging designs, assessing supplier changes or capabilities, packaging equipment interface, testing protocols, and supporting investigations.
• Supports and coordinates with cross functional teams to align development and implementation strategies for packaging changes or solutions.
• Independently executes the design of packaging solutions by applying standard engineering theories, concepts, and techniques within the discipline. Independently investigates, conducts tests or experiments.
• Improves methods/designs/processes. Recognizes and implements good ideas/innovations/costs reductions; consistently generates/adopts original solutions to problems and reduces them to practices.
• Creates and implements package component specifications and technical documentation.

• A Bachelors Degree in Engineering, science or closely related discipline is desired, or equivalent technical experience plus demonstrated competence, with a desired 2+ years of significant engineering and/or operational experience. Additional post-graduate education may contribute towards the desired years of experience.
