We are seeking an experienced Structural Designer with a strong background in corrugated displays and retail packaging. The ideal candidate has hands-on experience designing and building corrugated displays and understands how to take a concept from an initial idea through a structurally sound, manufacturable design.
ArtiosCAD and corrugated design experience are required.
Responsibilities:
- Design and develop corrugated retail displays, POP/POS displays, and retail packaging using ArtiosCAD.
- Create structural drawings, dielines, prototypes, and 2D/3D designs for production.
- Translate concepts, sketches, customer requirements, and specifications into functional, manufacturable structural designs.
- Apply knowledge of corrugated materials, construction methods, and manufacturing processes to determine what will and will not work structurally and in production.
- Design for major retail environments while ensuring designs meet applicable retailer requirements and guidelines.
- Manage approximately 2–3 projects simultaneously in a fast-paced environment.
- Collaborate closely with internal teams, production, and other design resources throughout the development process.
- Participate in customer discussions as needed to understand requirements, communicate design considerations, and recommend structural solutions.
- Revise designs based on customer feedback, prototyping, testing, and manufacturing requirements.
- Support projects from initial concept through final production.
Qualifications
- 3+ years of structural design experience in corrugated, displays, packaging, or a related industry.
- ArtiosCAD experience required.
- Proven experience designing and building corrugated displays.
- Strong experience with retail displays, including POP/POS or other in-store display solutions.
- Experience with retail packaging.
- Strong understanding of corrugated materials, structural design principles, and manufacturing processes.
- Ability to understand the dos and don'ts of structural design and identify potential manufacturing or production issues before they occur.
- Experience working within retailer specifications or guidelines is a plus.
- Ability to work quickly and accurately while managing multiple projects and competing deadlines.
- Strong attention to detail and problem-solving skills.
- Ability to communicate effectively with internal teams and, when needed, customers.
- Approximately 5% travel may be required, primarily to design centers or other company locations.
