Advanced Packaging Engineer – Consumer Products

Our client is a fast-growing consumer products organization investing heavily in the next generation of device-enabled home and personal experience products. This is a high-impact opportunity for an engineer who wants to shape innovative hardware from early concept through commercialization, while working across packaging, mechanical design, validation, and supplier collaboration. The right person will thrive in a hands‑on environment where creative problem solving, product ownership, and cross‑functional influence are highly valued.

The Mechanical Engineer Consumer Products will play a central role in developing device‑oriented consumer products and the packaging systems that support them. This individual will work across concept creation, design refinement, prototyping, testing, manufacturability, and supplier coordination. Success in this role requires a strong mechanical engineering foundation, experience with regulated or technically complex consumer products, and the ability to move programs forward in a fast‑paced onsite setting.
