NPD Executive

We are looking for a highly motivated NPD Executive to drive product innovation, optimize packaging designs, and support our growth in the dynamic packaging market.
Responsibilities
Design & Prototyping: Conceptualize, design, and develop custom corrugated packaging solutions using industry-standard software (e.g., ArtiosCAD).
Product Testing: Conduct rigorous structural and physical testing (e.g., BCT, ECT, drop tests) to ensure packaging integrity and product safety.
Material Optimization: Analyze and select the optimal flute profiles, paper grades, and board combinations to balance cost-efficiency with structural performance.
Cross-Functional Collaboration: Work closely with the Sales & Marketing and Production teams to transition new designs from initial concept to full-scale commercial manufacturing.
Costing & Estimation: Calculate accurate bill of materials (BOM), tooling costs, and production timelines to support competitive pricing.
Market Research: Monitor industry trends, emerging eco-friendly materials, and competitor innovations to identify new product opportunities.
Requirements
Bachelor’s degree in Packaging Technology, Mechanical Engineering, Industrial Design, or related field.
1+ years of experience in packaging design, product development, or related roles within the corrugated packaging industry.
Practical knowledge of structural testing methods (BCT, ECT, drop tests) and packaging optimization.
Proficiency in CAD software (e.g., ArtiosCAD) and familiarity with eco-friendly packaging materials will be an added advantage.
