Meet the team:

We are seeking a highly skilled Senior Packaging Engineer to join our innovative team. The ideal candidate will have extensive experience in designing and developing systems that ensure robust hermetic sealing and/or sterility, safety, and integrity of high-volume packaging products. This role requires a strong understanding of a complete packaging system that includes the hermetic seal and/or sterile barrier and sub-level systems, such as the protective packaging to maintain the safety and integrity of our cutting-edge medical device products while ensuring regulatory compliance.

This role requires a deep understanding of the interaction of primary, secondary, and tertiary packaging systems to ensure that the full system remains hermetically sealed/sterile and intact until it reaches the end user, while also meeting regulatory requirements and industry standards. If you are passionate about creating solutions that enhance patient safety and product performance, we invite you to apply and contribute to our mission of empowering people to take control of their health management.

Where you come in:

• You have proficiency in development and characterization of heat-sealing sealant layers.

• You have a deep understanding of various material properties and their applications (e.g., polymers, compostable materials, barrier materials, and sealants).

• You bring experience in designing and developing systems that preserve product functionality during transportation, storage and handling.

• You have experience working towards high volume scalability and automation technologies, taking packaging design from an early prototype stage to a high volume commercial solution.

• You have hands-on experience with CAD software (e.g. SolidWorks, ArtiosCAD, CAPE, Adobe Illustrator).

• You have proficiency in statistical modeling/data interpretation: developing statistical models for response surface DOE’s and interpreting results effectively with the assistance of statistical software such as Minitab and/or JMP

• You have proficiency in generating engineering drawings and design specifications.

• Preferred: You bring in-depth understanding of industry standards, such as ASTM D4169, ISO 11607, ISO TS 16775, ISO 13485 and ISTA test standards.

What makes you successful:

• You have the ability to work independently, taking the lead in all aspects of packaging engineering development.

• You emphasize a meticulous approach to problem solving, and instinctively want to dig deeper on tough problems

• You have the ability to adapt to changing project requirements and pivot as needed, while maintaining a forward-looking approach to the overall business needs

• You possess the ability to convey technical information to both technical and non-technical stakeholders, emphasizing strong verbal and written communication skills

• You foster a sense of accountability and urgency in the team for reaching goals and meeting project deadlines

• You demonstrate the ability to collaborate effectively both in a cross-functional team setting and with external vendors.
