About the Role

The Packaging Engineer will be responsible for end-to-end development, qualification and commercialization of packaging for FMCG products, balancing technical excellence, cost, quality, sustainability and speed to market. You will work with cross-functional teams and suppliers under the guidance of the packaging lead.

Key Responsibilities

  • Develop primary, secondary and tertiary packaging (bottles, closures and caps, pumps, tubes, cartons, labels/sleeves, flexible packs) for new launches, renovations and cost-optimization projects, from concept to commercialization.

  • Create and maintain technical drawings and specifications, following Quality by Design (QbD) and good drawing practices.

  • Plan and execute packaging qualification, including compatibility, stability, transit and functional testing, mold validation, FAT and line trials.

  • Investigate packaging quality issues, drive root-cause analysis and CAPA, and maintain documentation for audits and approvals.

  • Deliver cost savings through material optimization, lightweighting and standardization, and support sustainability goals (recyclability, PCR content).

  • Ensure compliance with regulatory, labeling and company standards, and support artwork requirements.

  • Own project timelines and deliverables, manage supplier relationships, and align with R&D, Marketing, Quality, Supply Chain, Sourcing, Manufacturing and EHS.


Key Requirements

  • 5–8 years of packaging development experience in FMCG (personal care, home care, food and beverage or similar), with proven product launches.

  • Hands-on experience with rigid plastic packaging, closures and dispensing systems (injection and blow molding); labels, sleeves, cartons or flexible packaging is an advantage.

  • Strong knowledge of packaging materials (HDPE, PP, PET, PCR resins, glass, paperboard), testing standards (ISTA, ASTM, ISO) and QbD.

  • Proficiency in 2D/3D CAD (e.g., SolidWorks, AutoCAD), GD&T and tolerance stack-up; familiarity with SAP/PLM and MS Office.

  • Understanding of filling, capping and packing line operations, scale-up, Design for Recyclability and FMCG regulatory and labeling requirements.
