About This Role
Designing innovative cosmetic packaging is the core of this industrial design role, with a focus on primary and secondary solutions. The designer will create packaging that reflects brand identity, enhances user experience, and pushes design boundaries, collaborating with marketing, R&D, packaging engineering, and suppliers.
Responsibilities
- Design innovative, user-centric packaging concepts for makeup, skincare, fragrance categories, and accessories
- Develop mood boards, sketches, 2D renderings, and 3D models to communicate design intent
- Translate brand values and product briefs into unique and feasible packaging solutions
- Present concepts and prototypes to internal stakeholders and external partners
- Create detailed technical drawings and dimensioned packaging component plans (bottles, caps, mechanisms, etc.) in coordination with the packaging engineering team
- Conduct functional analysis to ensure product usability, assembly feasibility, and ergonomic performance
- Build and maintain technical datasheets and Bills of Materials (BOM) for each development
- Perform Design FMEA to anticipate potential failure modes and ensure robustness of packaging solutions
- Validate dimensional chain analysis and tolerance stacks in collaboration with suppliers and packaging engineers
- Participate in technical reviews (Design for Manufacturing, Design for Assembly) to ensure industrial feasibility and production readiness
- Work closely with packaging engineers and suppliers to validate materials, finishes, and technical constraints
- Manage the 3D laboratory to print internal mockups for quick decision-making with top management
- Partner with cross-functional teams to ensure design intent is maintained through development and industrialization
- Stay up to date with trends in beauty, fashion, materials, and sustainability
- Contribute to packaging innovation by exploring new mechanisms, gestures, and sensorial experiences
