We’re looking for someone who’s eager to learn about supporting our team through new product packaging launches and/or cost-savings initiatives. You will assist with overseeing the development of projects and interfacing with different members of our maker and supply chain teams. You will also become familiar with our packaging test protocols and then help us refine them, or even create new ones.
What you will observe, learn about and assist our teams to accomplish:
Gain a general understanding of some of our existing test protocols (i.e., learn about the what, why, how, and when we test).
Assist the engineers in developing or improving test methods, fixtures, and procedures for new and existing products in a research lab environment.
Test, measure, characterize, and evaluate products, components, and prototypes using standard and custom instrumentation.
