Engagement Type: Part-Time / On-Call (Project-Based)
Rate: Negotiable (based on experience)
About Snapsil
Snapsil is a patented portion-controlled packaging technology company focused on developing functional, manufacturable, and scalable packaging formats for food, beverage, nutraceutical, pet care, and industrial applications. Our work is driven by engineering performance, usability, and production readiness—not marketing graphics.

About the Role
We are seeking a Senior Packaging Design Engineer with deep technical expertise in SolidWorks and hands-on experience in food and FMCG packaging development.
This role is engineering-focused. You will be responsible for creating production-ready packaging designs, validating form and function, and supporting commercialization through accurate CAD models and technical documentation.
Marketing graphics are already handled by a separate team—this role is strictly technical.
________________________________________
Key Responsibilities
• Design and develop packaging structures and mechanisms using SolidWorks.
• Create manufacturing-ready CAD models, assemblies, and drawings.
• Develop and refine portion-control, dispensing, sealing, and opening mechanisms.
• Apply DFM/DFA principles to ensure designs are scalable and production-feasible.
• Prepare technical documentation, including dimensions, tolerances, and material specifications.
• Support prototype development, testing, and iteration.
• Collaborate with engineering, manufacturing, and commercial teams to translate concepts into viable packaging formats.
• Ensure designs comply with food packaging standards and functional performance requirements.
• Manage multiple technical design projects while meeting development timelines.
________________________________________
Required Qualifications
• 5–10 years of experience in packaging engineering or packaging design.
• Advanced SolidWorks proficiency (mandatory).
• Proven experience in food, beverage, or FMCG packaging development.
• Strong understanding of packaging materials, sealing methods, dispensing systems, and usability.
• Experience producing detailed technical drawings for tooling and manufacturing.
• Familiarity with prototype-to-production workflows.
• Ability to work independently in a remote, cross-functional environment.
________________________________________
Highly Desirable (Not Mandatory)
• Experience with flexible packaging, spouted pouches, portion packs, or dispensing systems.
• Exposure to Blender, CAD, or visualization tools for technical rendering.
• Experience working with co-packers, converters, or tooling suppliers.
• Understanding of food safety and compliance considerations (FDA, EU, etc.).
