Structural Packaging Engineer (Folding Cartons)

Picture your day: you open a brief, sketch fresh ideas for a folding carton, and translate those concepts into precise CAD. By midday, you’re prototyping on the sample cutting table, refining dielines in ArtiosCAD, and exploring material options that balance sustainability, cost, and performance. By late afternoon, you’re collaborating with production and speaking with clients to ensure their packaging is engineered exactly as promised—on time and ready to scale.
