Key Responsibilities


* Develop accelerated consumer-use test methods to predict package design, safety and performance robustness based on insights on the way consumers use the packages, and influence updates to global packaging testing methods as relevant.


* Develop accelerated predictive test methods and simulations that mimic the various stages of stresses primary and secondary packaging systems encounter during but not limited to filling, assembly, packout, distribution, retail handling and consumer travel across all channels, such that early testing can generate data to shape robust packaging specifications.


* Identify emerging/advanced testing instruments and devices such as automated functional testers, imaging, pressure sensors, digital simulators/devices applicable to unlock scientific discovery and root cause analysis of packaging systems, and develop business case justification to integrate it as part of the packaging testing ecosystem to advance capabilities.


* Continue to evolve the relevancy of packaging test methods and instrumentation globally to be consumer-centric.


* Develop and validate test methods for evaluating packaging performance, including mechanical, environmental, and compatibility assessments.
