The Engineer role in Global Packaging Engineering at STX in One-North office, involves developing complex automated and manual tooling and tray designs, ensuring packaging quality from manufacturing to shipment, and supporting supply chain needs. Candidates should have a mechanical engineering degree, experience with 3D CAD modeling (Solidworks), and knowledge of thermoform and injection-molded plastics, with additional skills in finite element analysis, Six Sigma, and packaging standards being advantageous. The position requires cross-functional collaboration and up to 35% travel.
About our group:
The Global Packaging Engineering team provides innovative, cost-effective, and sustainable packaging and in-process tray/carrier (automated and manual) solutions that involve the STX supply chain and transportation, holistically for STX operation and environment. Our designed mechanical/packaging part contributes to STX product shipment quality and manufacturing from Slider to finished HDD, including the packaging that ships products to customers.
About the role - you will
- Develops complex automated and manual tooling/tray design and mechanical testing criteria to meet established requirements and maintains oversight/streamlining of existing tray/packaging.
- Develops recommendations according to the nature of the product, STX manufacturing requirements/changes, cost considerations, equipment automation, and the type of thermoplastic material/technology required (distribution, moisture, chemicals/cleanliness, ESD, automation, and compliance).
- Generate and document packaging drawings, BOM, SAP, and maintain their congruency across STX factories.
- Would also be responsible for supporting supply-chain and business continuity needs, and secondary contract packaging sites, including documentation management and change approval.
About you:
- Bachelor's Degree in mechanical-based engineering.
- Efficiently multitasks, being self-driven, and paying attention to details. Understands with whom to interact to make progress (supplier contacts, factory, CMT, purchasing, supplier quality, and other engineering groups).
- Fluent in English communication both spoken and written.
Your experience includes:
- Capability to work cross-functionally is preferred.
- 3D CAD modeling experience with Solidworks or similar is a must, GD&T, and tolerance analysis.
- Finite element analysis experience using Ansys is a plus.
- Six Sigma or statistics experience desired.
- Experience with thermoform and injection-molded plastic design and implementation.
- Tray design, tooling design, and mechanical test experience, including familiarity with related ASTM and ISTA test standards, desired.
- Data analysis of large datasets.
You might also have:
- Knowledge of global compliance requirements and trends is an added advantage.
- HDD manufacturing industry knowledge.
- Familiar with plastic and expanded foam cushion materials (e.g. EPP, EPE).
- Familiar with corrugated fiberboard materials and their specifications.
- Knowledge/experience using electrodynamic vibration tester, accelerometers for measuring shock levels on the Lansmont Test Partner system.
