Packaging Design & Development

• Design, develop, and optimize packaging systems (pouches, blister trays, cartons, labels, boxes, shrink wraps, etc.) to meet functional, quality, and regulatory requirements.
• Conduct material evaluation, testing, and selection with consideration for compatibility, sustainability, manufacturability, durability, and cost.
• Lead or support root‑cause investigations and implement improvements for packaging‑related performance issues.

Prototyping & Process Development

• Lead or contribute to prototype design, assembly, testing, and line trials to validate new packaging concepts.
• Develop and refine packaging manufacturing processes, including equipment specification, qualification, and validation.
• Collaborate closely with Engineering, Operations, Quality, Regulatory, and Supply Chain to ensure smooth technology transfer to production.

Equipment, Systems & Automation

• Oversee installation, commissioning, operation, and maintenance readiness of packaging machinery and inspection systems (e.g., vision systems, inline verification).
• Troubleshoot equipment or system performance and drive corrective and preventive actions to maintain efficiency and quality.

Quality, Compliance & Risk Management

• Integrate quality assurance and control requirements into packaging and process design.
• Ensure adherence to technical standards, regulatory guidelines, and global packaging/labelling regulations.
• Perform or support risk assessments (pFMEA, QRA) for packaging components and processes.
• Follow GxP, SOPs, and documentation requirements to ensure full traceability and audit readiness.
