Job Description:

• Daily tasks include direct communication with our sales team, customers, and manufacturing department to develop new bottle designs and/or enhance our current products. 
• Throughout this process our Product Design Engineers compile package requirements such as: volume, fill level, overflow, overall size, height, width, depth, bottle gram weight, neck finish type and label stipulations. 
• In addition, any performance requirements, such as top load and drop test, will need to be identified and qualified by the customer. Bottle testing and measurements of sample containers will be conducted in our bottle lab to include: measuring overall bottle and neck finish dimensions, calculating volume, fill level, and overflow, and checking container weight, wall thickness and material distribution.  These measurements will be taken using instruments such as an optical comparator, digital height gauge, calipers, and Magna Mike.
• SolidWorks 2024 is used to develop fully parametric 2D sketches.  The solids and surfaces will be driven from these 2D sketches to develop new product bottle designs.  3D computer models will be generated, and in many cases 3D models will be produced on our in-house 3D printer.  Once approved, a scaled cavity is created applying the required shrink rate to yield target container dimensions, from which finished molds will be produced.
• We also have a Faro Arm laser scanner with Polyworks software used for reverse engineering.

Qualifications:

• 5+ years working experience in related field.
• Minimum of bachelor’s in engineering or 7 years’ experience in related field.
• Preferred degrees: Mechanical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering Technology, Product Design Engineering Technology or Packaging Engineering
• 5+ years CAD experience (SolidWorks preferred and/or NX).
• Proficient in SolidWorks.
• Equivalent combinations of education and/or experience will be considered.
• Strong mechanical ability and knowledge of extrusion blow mold equipment.
• Excellent Communication
• Proficient in the use of Microsoft Office suite applications
• Experience with a Faro Arm Laser scanner & Polyworks is a plus.
