• Partner with Product Development, Operations, Manufacturing, Quality, Regulatory, Supply Chain, and other functions to deliver robust, compliant, and scalable packaging solutions.

• Establish priorities, manage project plans and dashboards, communicate progress and issues clearly, and drive work to completion within expected timelines.

• Identify and implement incremental improvements to processes, designs, tools, documentation, or ways of working within defined scope.

• Share knowledge, support team problem-solving, and provide guidance to junior engineers when needed.

• Ensure cGMP, regulatory, and change control expectations are met, and support regulatory inspections or related activities as needed.

• Experience in packaging engineering, manufacturing engineering, process engineering, product development, device or combination product development, clinical supply, or regulated technical operations.

• Experience developing, implementing, maintaining, or improving clinical or commercial packaging configurations, equipment, processes, or lifecycle management programs.

• Experience supporting technology transfers, new product introductions, site start-ups, platform standardization, automated equipment implementation, or process improvements.

• Knowledge of cGMP expectations, change control, qualification, validation, technical writing, and regulated manufacturing environments.

• Demonstrated ability to own technical deliverables, deliver consistent high-quality work, identify and address risks within scope, and escalate issues appropriately with recommended solutions.

• Ability to collaborate effectively with cross-functional partners, communicate technical progress and issues clearly, and contribute constructively to team discussions and alignment.

• Demonstrated ability to identify incremental improvement opportunities in processes, designs, tools, documentation, or ways of working.
