SENIOR PACKAGING ENGINEER 

We are hiring a senior-level Packaging Engineer to lead the design, validation, and implementation of packaging solutions for HVAC coils. This role is critical to enabling damage-free transportation by engineering packaging solutions that withstand real-world handling, cross-docking, forklift interaction, vibration, and edge impact. The engineer will serve as the primary authority for solving packaging-related freight damage and establishing scalable packaging standards. 

LOCATION: On-site Richardson, TX. Must be able to Travel 50% domestic plus Mexico 

 

Key Responsibilities

· Design and engineer custom crating, skids, frames, and internal restraint systems

· Develop packaging designs capable of surviving LTL, cross-docking transportation environments

· Serve as the lead problem solver for packaging-related freight damage using data, field observations, and root cause analysis

· Translate damage failure modes into engineered corrective actions

· Define packaging load paths, blocking and bracing strategies, base protection, and forklift entry requirements

· Create packaging standards, material specifications, and build instructions

· Ensure packaging designs are repeatable, scalable, and suitable for internal execution

· Collaborate cross-functionally with internal and external resources

· Support pilot builds, field validation, and phased rollout of new packaging solutions

Required Qualifications

· Bachelor’s degree in Packaging Engineering or related technical discipline

· 5+ years of experience in packaging engineering, transport packaging, or heavy-duty industrial packaging

· Demonstrated experience designing packaging for oversized, heavy, or fragile products

· Hands-on experience engineering packaging for LTL or multi-touch transportation networks

· Strong understanding of load paths, restraint systems, shock, vibration, and edge impact risks

· Ability to translate field failures into engineered, scalable solutions

 

Preferred Qualifications

· Professional certification such as Certified Packaging Professional (CPP) or Packaging Dynamics Professional (ISTA PDP) strongly preferred.

· Experience packaging HVAC components, coils, or similar industrial assemblies

 

Work Arrangement

· On-site presence at the Richardson, TX office. Must be able to travel 50%+ to domestic manufacturing locations as well as Mexico.

· Contract Duration – 6-month contract to lead assessment, engineer solutions, pilot validation, and standardization efforts, with potential extension based on business needs and results.
