About Pakka Limited

At Pakka Ltd, we are committed to sustainable innovation, creating eco-friendly packaging solutions that align with the needs of modern businesses. With over 40 years of manufacturing excellence and a strong R&D; foundation, we have been revolutionizing in three major segments, namely Wrap & Carry, Food Services & Adaptable packaging. Join us to shape the future of packaging and make a meaningful impact.

Mission of the Role

Design and develop innovative, functional, cost-effective, and sustainable packaging products across multiple product categories, including moulded fibre products, paper bags, flexible packaging formats, and other emerging applications. Translate product concepts and business requirements into technically feasible, manufacturable, and commercially viable designs, supporting the complete product development cycle from concept to commercialization.

Key Responsibilities

- Develop innovative product concepts, 3D CAD models, 2D engineering drawings, structural designs, folding patterns, dielines, product geometries, assembly concepts, and detailed specifications for moulded fibre, paper bags, food service, and other sustainable packaging applications.
- Translate customer and business requirements into functional designs considering usability, aesthetics, material properties, manufacturing feasibility, and dimensional tolerances; apply DFM, DFA, and value engineering principles.
- Optimize product geometry, dimensions, material consumption, weight, strength, stackability, fitment, and functionality to improve product performance and reduce costs; conduct engineering calculations and simulations where required.




- Develop functional prototypes through 3D printing, sample cutting, and mock-ups; coordinate product trials and validation, evaluate results against customer and dimensional requirements, and incorporate feedback into design improvements.
- Collaborate with mould makers, die manufacturers, converters, and production teams on moulds, cutting dies, creasing tools, tooling drawings, manufacturing feasibility, production trials, and design-related problem solving.
- Work with Innovation, R&D;, Sales, Marketing, Production, Procurement, Quality, external design agencies, and suppliers to explore new product structures, material applications, and differentiated sustainable packaging concepts.
- Maintain CAD models, drawings, dielines, BOMs, product specifications, revision records, and an organized design database; manage design milestones, standardize practices, support design reviews and commercialization, and contribute to intellectual property development.

Qualifications

Bachelor’s degree in one of the following:

· Mechanical Engineering

· Product Design / Industrial Design

· Related engineering or design discipline

Experience

· 4–7 years of relevant experience in product design, packaging design, mechanical design, or industrial product development.





· Hands-on experience in 3D CAD modelling, 2D drawings, prototyping, and manufacturing-oriented product design.

· Experience in paper packaging, moulded fibre, plastic packaging, thermoforming, or consumer product development preferred.

· Understanding of packaging manufacturing processes, tooling development, and material behaviour.

Skills

· Proficiency in Onshape, SolidWorks, Creo, CATIA, AutoCAD, or equivalent CAD software.

· Structural packaging design, folding mechanisms, dielines, GD&T;, tolerance analysis, and mechanical design principles.

· Knowledge of moulding, thermoforming, die-cutting, creasing, folding, and packaging conversion processes.

· Rapid prototyping, design validation, DFM/DFA, material reduction, and cost optimization; basic FEA knowledge is an advantage.

· Creativity, problem-solving, attention to detail, project execution, and cross-functional collaboration.

What We Offer

This role offers the prospect to develop innovative sustainable packaging solutions within an innovation-focused work culture, supported by state-of-the-art R&D; facilities and resources. You will enjoy a competitive salary with performance-based incentives, comprehensive healthcare benefits, and a strong focus on work-life balance.
