Description
film mechanics
roller design
system integration
cad modeling
wrapping profiles
bom management
In this role, you will take ownership of the design, development, and optimization of advanced stretch wrapping machinery in a fast-paced, capital equipment environment. You will lead mechanical system innovation that improves load containment, reduces film usage, and enhances equipment reliability.
Engineer the Future of Stretch Wrapping Technology
You’ll collaborate with product management, controls engineering, manufacturing, and field service to bring next-generation wrapping systems to market—systems that set new standards for performance and efficiency.
- Stretch Wrapping Expertise: Lead the design of film carriage mechanics, prestretch gearing, and post-stretch tensioning systems.
- Engineer roller and drive mechanisms for optimal prestretch ratios and consistent film performance.
- Integrate hydraulic, pneumatic, and electromechanical subsystems.
- Serve as the company authority on prestretch/post-stretch film technologies, film memory, and film force control.
- Mechanical Design Leadership: Create complete machine assemblies from concept using Autodesk Inventor and/or PTC CREO.
- Develop load-specific wrapping profiles for varying product types.
- Collaborate with controls engineers to integrate feedback systems (dancer arms, analog sensors) for consistent stretch across load types.
- Mentor junior engineers and field technicians in film mechanics and system diagnostics.
- Generate Bills of Materials (BOMs), part numbers, and PDM structures.
- Provide engineering support for aftermarket parts, retrofits, and conversions.
- Travel up to 20% for field testing, product launches, and customer site support.

- Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering (P.E. preferred).
- 25% (Preferred)
- Experience designing linear and rotary drive trains, hydraulic/pneumatic subsystems, and high-reliability repetitive-motion packaging equipment.
- Minimum 7 years of direct, hands-on experience with stretch wrapping systems.
- FEA (Finite Element Analysis) experience.
- Stretch Wrapping Systems : 3 years (Required)
- Strong mentoring, project management, and cross-functional collaboration skills.
- PDM/manufacturing software systems (InforM3 preferred).
- Deep understanding of prestretch/post-stretch mechanics, film force, film memory, and mechanical tensioning systems.
- 10+ years in mechanical engineering for capital equipment, packaging machinery, or automation.
- Proficiency in Autodesk Inventor and/or PTC CREO, AutoCAD 2D, and Microsoft Office Suite.
