Full job description
Description
The Engineering role is a hands-on individual contributor role for an execution-focused engineer who is eager to learn, grow, and make a direct impact in a fast-paced product development environment. It will support filling process development across our product portfolio — spanning skincare, color cosmetics, fragrance, and packaging — by running trials, executing experiments, and collecting and summarizing data under the guidance of senior team members. You will collaborate with cross-functional partners across Formulation, Process Development, Packaging, Quality, Commercialization, and Manufacturing Engineering, and travel to manufacturing sites to support process handovers.
The ideal candidate is curious, hands-on, and eager to build a deep understanding of mechanical and pneumatic systems, materials, and manufacturing equipment — and apply that knowledge to deliver real results at the desk and on the floor.
The ideal candidate is someone eager to contribute to the acceleration of industrialization of complex product forms — supporting the team in driving smooth, right-first-time transitions from pilot to manufacturing. They are intellectually curious and disciplined enough to engage with first principles thinking, helping to build and execute targeted learning plans and DOEs that address real manufacturing challenges. This role also offers meaningful opportunities to contribute to the creation of new intellectual property, growing alongside a team that is actively shaping the future of prestige beauty manufacturing.
