A growing thin gauge medical device packaging thermoformer is looking for a Design Engineering Leader.  This is a 'working leader,' combining both your design skills for new part design and leading a small team of Design Engineers.  The team is one of several business units in a much larger organization, effectively functioning as a smaller unit with nimbleness, flatness, a collaborative environment, and a great bunch of people... with the resources that comes their parent company.

This is not a desk job, focused solely on design behind a screen.  You will work with customers for intake conversations, part reviews, trials runs, and more; work cross-functionally with tooling, engineering, and manufacturing; and spend time on floor to ensure manufacturability. 

  • Bachelor's degree strongly preferred in a technical field
  • Must have at least 5 years of thermoformed packaging design
  • Must have at least 5 years working in a highly regulated environment (pharma or medical device)
  • Must have proven history of leading a team
  • Proven ability to communicate effectively across a variety of internal and external teams

This is an onsite role given the nature of the team dynamics.
