Graham Packaging is seeking a Junior Design Engineer to serve as part of Graham’s Product Development team.   Graham commercializes hundreds of new packages every year, and each bottle requires a Design Engineer to create 3D models, 2D article drawings and simulations to predict part performance and process conditions.  The Design Engineer is also responsible for utilizing advanced design tools, such as CT Scanners for reverse engineering and 3D printers for developing prototype samples.    The Junior Design Engineer will be primarily responsible for scanning bottles using our CT scanner and performing post processing of the scan data.  As this person develops in the role, they will also be asked to support other elements of Design Engineering work – such as 3D modeling and 2D article drawing work, as well as predictive modeling work.  This position is based at Graham Packaging’s Global Technical Center in York, PA.
