→Build technical 3D models of components and assemblies (SolidWorks) from briefs, concepts and supplier files.
→Produce technical drawings with critical dimensions, tolerances and GD&T to ISO standards.
→Apply design-for-manufacturing rules: wall thickness, draft angles, parting lines, gates and assembly fits.
→Review supplier drawings and 3D files against our specifications, and flag gaps.
→Keep drawings under version control and linked to specifications in Specright.

Run the in-house 3D lab and print mockups for fast reviews and decisions.
Brief, order and track mockups and prototypes made by suppliers.
Check mockups and prototypes against CAD and drawings, and record findings.
Label and store mockups and prototypes so they can be found and reused.

Build and maintain the CAD library of proven packaging platforms and standard components.
Turn lessons from tests and launches into design rules and CAD templates.
Make library files easy to find, reuse and adapt for new launches.

Support packaging engineers on functional analysis, tolerance stack-ups and DFMEA; engineers keep ownership.
Join DFMA reviews with suppliers and contract manufacturers.
Translate Brand Design intent into feasible geometry and flag constraints early; Brand Design owns the aesthetic.
Produce technical renders and exploded views for internal reviews.

Manage design and mockup requests from R&D and Development through one prioritized queue.
Agree priorities with the Manager, Packaging R&D and Innovation, protecting time for the platform library.
Share CAD standards and good practices with the packaging team.
