• Develop and maintain packaging specifications and standards for vials and related products.

• Review customer packaging requirements and coordinate changes with internal teams and suppliers.

• Support clean-area controls, hygiene requirements, and cross-contamination prevention.

• Provide ISO 15378 and process-related training to employees.

• Collaborate with production, quality, maintenance, suppliers, and other functional departments.

Qualifications:

• Upper Intermediate (B2) English proficiency required. You should confidently communicate with international colleagues, participate in meetings, understand engineering documents, write clear emails and reports, and deliver technical presentations.

• Bachelor’s degree in Materials, Chemical, Mechanical, Production, Thermal, or another related Engineering discipline.

• At least 2 years of experience in process engineering, manufacturing engineering, or production-process management.

• Experience in pharmaceutical packaging, medical devices, glass manufacturing, sterile production, automated manufacturing, or a related industry.

• Availability to travel to China for 1-month training (company-sponsored).

• Knowledge of process troubleshooting, root-cause analysis, corrective actions, validation, and change control.

• Experience preparing SOPs, technical standards, drawings, packaging specifications, or BOMs.

• Familiarity with GMP, ANVISA, ISO standards, and regulated manufacturing environments.

Nice to have:

• Experience with pharmaceutical vials, ampoules, cartridges, glass tubing, or primary packaging.
