Job description

Who We Are:

At Huda Beauty, our Vision is to lead in creating a democratized beauty industry where power is given back to people to define, create, and enjoy beauty for themselves! Launched by award-winning beauty powerhouse Huda Kattan in 2013, Huda Beauty is one of the world’s fastest growing beauty brands. As a company, we are fueled by purpose and not profit, this allows us to approach things differently so that we can create products, content, and a community like no other. A lot has changed since our launch in 2013, but something that will forever remain at the core of Huda Beauty is our focus on business excellence and our unwavering passion for kindness!

Summary: The Technical Industrial Designer turns packaging concepts into precise, manufacturable designs. This role owns technical 3D models and technical drawings, runs mockups and prototypes made in-house and with suppliers, and builds the CAD library of our packaging platforms. Based in Packaging R&D, it serves both Packaging R&D and Packaging Development, in close partnership with packaging engineers, Brand Design and suppliers.

Essential Duties and Responsibilities

Technical 3D & Drawings

• Build technical 3D models of components and assemblies (SolidWorks) from briefs, concepts and supplier files.
• Produce technical drawings with critical dimensions, tolerances and GD&T to ISO standards.
• Apply design-for-manufacturing rules: wall thickness, draft angles, parting lines, gates and assembly fits.
• Review supplier drawings and 3D files against our specifications, and flag gaps.
• Keep drawings under version control and linked to specifications in Specright.

Mockups & Prototypes

• Run the in-house 3D lab and print mockups for fast reviews and decisions.
• Brief, order and track mockups and prototypes made by suppliers.
• Check mockups and prototypes against CAD and drawings, and record findings.
• Label and store mockups and prototypes so they can be found and reused.

Platform Library & Design Rules

• Build and maintain the CAD library of proven packaging platforms and standard components.
• Turn lessons from tests and launches into design rules and CAD templates.
• Make library files easy to find, reuse and adapt for new launches.

Technical Collaboration

• Support packaging engineers on functional analysis, tolerance stack-ups and DFMEA; engineers keep ownership.
• Join DFMA reviews with suppliers and contract manufacturers.
• Translate Brand Design intent into feasible geometry and flag constraints early; Brand Design owns the aesthetic.
• Produce technical renders and exploded views for internal reviews.

Planning & Ways of Working

• Manage design and mockup requests from R&D and Development through one prioritized queue.
• Agree priorities with the Manager, Packaging R&D and Innovation, protecting time for the platform library.
• Share CAD standards and good practices with the packaging team.

• Expert in SolidWorks (parts, assemblies, drawings) and STEP/IGES exchange with suppliers.
• Proficient in ISO technical drawing, GD&T and tolerancing.
• Solid knowledge of injection molding, blow molding, glass, metal and decoration constraints.
• Hands‑on experience with 3D printing (FDM, resin) and mockup finishing.
• Experience working with suppliers on prototypes and tooling files.
• Portfolio showing technical drawings and manufacturable packaging designs, not only renders.
• KeyShot or similar rendering, and Adobe Illustrator, are a plus.
• Track record of rigorous, organized, detail-oriented work as a clear communicator with engineers and designers.
• 3+ years in technical industrial design or packaging design engineering, ideally in cosmetics, luxury or FMCG.
• Bachelor's in Industrial Design, Product Design or Mechanical Engineering.

• Monthly “Self Love Days” – at company discretion
• Premium Medical/Dental/Vision coverage for employee plus dependents
• Monthly coaching sessions with our in‑house Success Coach
• Employee discounts on all Huda Beauty products
• Quarterly product gifting
