Technical Industrial Designer - Packaging

About the role

Huda Beauty is looking for a Technical Industrial Designer for its Packaging R&D team in Dubai. The designer turns packaging concepts into precise, manufacturable designs, owns technical 3D models and drawings, runs in-house mockups and prototypes and builds the CAD library of packaging platforms. The role works closely with packaging engineers, Brand Design and suppliers.

Key responsibilities

• Build technical 3D models of components and assemblies (SolidWorks) from briefs, concepts and supplier files, and produce technical drawings with critical dimensions, tolerances and GD&T to ISO standards.
• Apply design-for-manufacturing rules such as wall thickness, draft angles, parting lines, gates and assembly fits.
• Review supplier drawings and 3D files against specifications, keep drawings under version control and link them to specifications in Specright.
• Run the in-house 3D lab, order and track mockups and prototypes from suppliers, check them against CAD and drawings, label and store them for reuse.
• Maintain the CAD library of packaging platforms and standard components, turn test and launch learnings into design rules and CAD templates.
• Support packaging engineers on functional analysis, tolerance stack-ups and DFMEA, join DFMA reviews with suppliers and contract manufacturers, and produce technical renders and exploded views.
• Manage design and mockup requests through a prioritized queue, agree priorities with the Packaging R&D manager and share CAD standards with the team.

Required profile

• 3+ years in technical industrial design or packaging design engineering, ideally in cosmetics, luxury or FMCG.
• Bachelor's degree in Industrial Design, Product Design or Mechanical Engineering.
• Portfolio showing technical drawings and manufacturable packaging designs, not only renders.
• Track record of rigorous, organized, detail-oriented work and clear communication with engineers and designers.

Required skills

• Expert SolidWorks (parts, assemblies, drawings) and STEP/IGES exchange with suppliers.
• Proficiency in ISO technical drawing, GD&T and tolerancing.
• Solid knowledge of injection molding, blow molding, glass, metal and decoration constraints.
• Hands-on 3D printing (FDM, resin) and mockup finishing; experience with suppliers on prototypes and tooling files.
• KeyShot or similar rendering and Adobe Illustrator are a plus.
