Our client, a leader in the medical device industry, is looking for a skilled Senior Packaging Engineer to join their team for a 12-month engagement. This is a high-impact role that requires a self-motivated professional who can hit the ground running and deliver results quickly.

• Leading packaging development and validation activities for a major packaging redesign project.
• Developing and executing test methods for new packaging configurations, including performance and stability testing.
