Industrial Structure Designer
Date: Aug 12, 2025
Location: Shanghai, SH, CN, 200080
Company: Aptar Group
Primary Purpose Summary
In this Innovation Structure Designer role, you will be responsible for driving the development of breakthrough product concepts by leveraging innovative mechanical design solutions. You will work closely with cross-functional teams to turn creative ideas into functional, manufacturable products that offer unique value to users.
Primary Duties and Responsibilities
- In charge of upstream innovation products from concept to prototype, with a strong focus on mechanical structures that enhance functionality.
- Use CAD tools (e.g., SolidWorks, Creo, or similar) to generate detailed design specifications.
- Develop and validate new mechanisms, components, and systems that deliver novel product features by D-FMEA analysis.
- Ensure the feasibility of designs to cost, materials, manufacturability, and regulatory requirements.
- Collaborate with attorney for patent application and infringement identification.
- Utilize simulation analysis tools to verify the mechanical reliability and structural integrity of designs.
- Collaborate with engineers, industrial designers, marketing, and manufacturing teams throughout the product development cycle.
- Stay up to date on emerging technologies, materials, and design trends relevant to innovation.
- Participate in brainstorming and ideation sessions to push the boundaries of what is technically and commercially possible.
- Other duties as assigned by manager.
Required Qualifications
- Bachelor's degree or higher in Mechanical Engineering, conception, manufactural and industrial structure conception related.
- 3+ years design experience, strong capability of classical mechanical structure design, packaging, home appliances, digital device,etc... Packaging design experience would be a plus.
- Good command of basic English communication skills — reading, writing, listening, and speaking.
- Be able to finish the whole design independently, better to have the sense of aesthetics and user-centric design.
- Be familiar with mockup fabrication process(3D printing, CNC, fast mold, 3D printing aide mold techno, etc)and fast mold process.
- Master of 3D software (CAD, SolidWorks, Pro/E or UG). Be able to model the difficult curved surface.
- Be familiar with plastic molding, metal stamping and mold conception. Good understanding on decoration process (spray, vacuum plating, etc).
Preferred Qualifications:
- Experience with IP generation or patent applications related to mechanical innovations.
- Knowledge of mechanical simulation analysis.
- Familiarity with sustainability principles in product design.
- Strong communication and collaboration skills; able to present and defend ideas clearly.
