About the role

  • Packaging Engineer designing and validating packaging solutions for next-generation networking systems at Nexthop Systems. Focused on innovative problem-solving and industry standards compliance.

Responsibilities

  • Develop, implement and oversee the cost-effective package solutions that ensure data center networking product protection and marketability as per client requirements, and industry standards
  • Partner with packaging vendors, suppliers, and external labs to have packaging solutions in timely manner
  • Develop detailed design, develop, qualify, release and maintain packaging functional activities
  • Qualification plans to characterize and validate packaging solutions for product and it’s FRU (Field replaceable unit), subassemblies or components as per industry or internal specifications by working closely with HW design (mechanical, thermal, electrical etc)
  • Come out with innovative ideas for cost optimization, durability during shipping, environmental impact, and compliance with safety regulations
  • Adjust or customize packaging in real time to adopt product design changes
  • Analyse different materials to assess the cost per unit, considering aspects such as durability, weight, sustainability and fragility of the product
  • Validate the durability of packaging materials by subjecting them to simulated shipping conditions, ensuring they can withstand rough handling and environmental factors such as temperature changes, ultimately preventing product damage during transit
  • Understand manufacturing plan & process, machinery, and assembly lines to ensure that the packaging design aligns seamlessly with the production capabilities, helping streamline the manufacturing process to improve operational efficiency
  • Work closely with the cross-functional teams to coordinate cost, schedule and address cross-functional dependencies e.g. HW allocation, SW readiness, shipment etc
  • Analyze test results, find product and package design issues, log bugs using tracking software, recommend corrective action, drive resolution and verify fixes
  • Review, edit, and release package design, parts, and documentation
  • Evaluate technical readiness prior to release to manufacturing
  • Learn and improve test cost, consistency, and efficiency proactively

Requirements

  • Bachelor’s or higher degree in Packaging or Mechanical Engineering
  • 2-5 years of experience in protective Packaging for telecom or data center product packaging development
  • Solid understanding of structural dynamic (shock, vibration, drop,etc) and environmental (temperature, humidity, altitude, acoustic) testing for networking
  • Strong knowledge of industry standards e.g. ISTA, FedEX, IEC, ASTM, ISO etc
  • Able to configure various packaging from FRU, single, multipack, pallets and crates for air, sea, rail, and road transportation
  • Ability to perform fragility analysis with boundary scan testing
  • Experience with mechanical and environmental test equipment e.g. shock & vibration table, acoustic, HALT and other environmental test chambers, etc
  • Familiarity with MDVT, HALT, & NEBS testing is a plus
  • CAD tools such as Fusion or SW to design and reviews with vendors or Mechanical design engineers
  • BOM management tools such as Arena or Agile to maintain and release part numbers with adequate details
  • Strong collaboration and communication skills to work effectively across cross-functional teams in a fast-paced environment
  • A problem-solving mindset with a focus on delivering results while managing technical risks and tradeoffs
  • Ability to adapt and thrive in a dynamic and innovative environment.

Benefits

  • Opportunity to design mechanical solutions that drive the future of AI infrastructure
  • Work alongside experts in cutting-edge technologies
  • Contribute to industry-defining projects
  • Make a tangible impact in the rapidly evolving networking and data center landscape
