[Hiring] Packaging Engineer @Folia Materials

Role Description

We are looking for a mid-career Packaging Engineer / Industrial Paper Packaging Designer with deep technical expertise in structural paper packaging design. We need a structural packaging specialist for Design for Manufacturing (DFM). This is not a branding or graphic design role, only physical / structural packaging design. You will create production-ready structural CAD files and parametric designs, while on-site teams handle manual prototype cutting and physical assembly at our facility.

Key Responsibilities

• Structural Design & CAD: Create precise, production-ready structural designs, dielines, and parametric models for paperboard and corrugated packaging using ArtiosCAD.
• Design for Manufacturing (DFM): Ensure designs optimize material yield, minimize waste, maximize structural integrity, and account for automated production constraints.
• Technical Documentation: Produce standard operating procedures, technical spec sheets, fold sequences, and assembly guides for production and sample teams.
• Remote Collaboration: Coordinate asynchronously with product managers, production teams, and on-site staff executing physical die-cutting and assembly.

Qualifications

• Proven experience drafting and outputting dielines in ArtiosCAD (non-negotiable).
• Strong technical understanding of paperboard, folding cartons, corrugated flutes, grain direction, and board grades.
• Strong background in Industrial Design, Packaging Engineering, or a related technical discipline.
• 3 -7+ years of hands-on structural packaging design experience for manufacturing environments.
• Excellent written/verbal communication skills for clear asynchronous technical handoffs.

Requirements

• Experience with 3D visualization or rendering tools (e.g., Studio, SolidWorks, or Rhino).
• Familiarity with industrial paper packaging standards (e.g. FEFCO, ECMA).
• Previous experience collaborating with remote/international teams across time zones.
