Stryker’s Joint Replacement Division is seeking to hire a Senior Packaging Engineer to support new product development and sustainment projects for our JR division.
The sterile packaging product development team at the Joint Replacement Division is a highly visible function which is critical to the overall success of the implant product launch.

As such, the packaging engineer collaborates closely with their technical SME, implant product development, operations, vendors, commercial, and program management to deliver on-time, robust, safe and effective packaging solutions.

- Work closely with global packaging vendors to develop packages for orthopaedic implants and instruments.
- Ensure designs can be utilized by the packaging equipment across Stryker's global packaging sites.
- Manage design control creation through the new product development process (NPDP), utilize internal procedures for package development, conduct feasibility testing, assess results, iterate as necessary and conduct design verification and validation testing.
- Author test protocols and reports, build the design history file, and operate within Stryker’s quality system to produce supporting design control documents, engineering change notices and drawings.
- Support the regulatory submission with deliverables as needed.
- Support projects from inception to launch!
What You Need
- Bachelor’s Degree in Packaging, Industrial, Mechanical Engineering or related technical field.
- 2+ years of work experience
- Medical device industry experience
- Packaging design development experience
- Functional knowledge of design controls and industry standards in packaging design (ISO 11607, ASTM, ISTA)
