Full Job Description

About

VIZOR is an advanced materials and coating technology company with operations in New York City and New Jersey. We develop high-performance active ingredients and specialty raw materials used across personal care and consumer product applications. Our team brings together decades of technical expertise in formulation science, materials engineering, and manufacturing.

The Role

We are looking for a hands-on Packaging Line Engineer to help build, commission, and optimize our personal care packaging and filling operations from the ground up. This role is focused on turning new equipment into a fully functioning production line — from equipment arrival and installation through startup, validation, troubleshooting, and production-ready operation.

The ideal candidate has direct experience with liquid, viscous, or hot-pour packaging systems in personal care, cosmetics, pharmaceutical, food & beverage, or a related manufacturing environment. This is not a desk-only engineering role. We need someone who can work directly with fillers, pumps, conveyors, cappers, labelers, coders, heated systems, and operators to get the line running correctly, efficiently, and reliably.

Responsibilities

Lead the installation, setup, commissioning, and startup of a new packaging/filling line, including unscramblers, fillers, pumps, cappers, labelers, coders, conveyors, and related production equipment.

Engineer and optimize the full packaging line workflow for cosmetic and personal care products, including lotions, creams, emulsions, viscous liquids, and hot-pour formats such as waxes, balms, and sticks.

Configure, test, and fine-tune piston, gear, and lobe pump filling systems to achieve consistent fill weights, clean cutoffs, repeatable performance, and minimal product loss across different viscosities and container formats.

Set up and optimize heated or jacketed tanks, transfer lines, heat-traced hoses, manifolds, and fill nozzles for hot-pour production, ensuring proper temperature control, flow, and product handling during filling.

Develop the practical line layout and operating flow, including equipment positioning, product transfer, container handling, operator workstations, changeover strategy, and end-of-line packaging steps.

Troubleshoot mechanical, pneumatic, electrical, conveyor, servo, PLC-controlled, and pump-related issues during installation, trial runs, scale-up, and routine production.

Partner with production, operations, and formulation teams to run line trials, improve throughput, reduce downtime, improve fill accuracy, reduce mess, and identify equipment or process improvements.

Create and document practical procedures for startup, shutdown, cleaning, changeover, line clearance, basic troubleshooting, and ongoing line operation.

Train production team members on correct equipment setup, operating parameters, changeover steps, and best practices for keeping the line running consistently.

Qualifications

Hands-on background in packaging engineering, manufacturing engineering, process engineering, equipment setup, maintenance, or a related technical field.

Experience commissioning, troubleshooting, optimizing, or scaling filling lines, packaging lines, or liquid/viscous manufacturing systems.

Strong mechanical aptitude and practical troubleshooting skills across fillers, pumps, conveyors, cappers, labelers, coders, sensors, and related packaging equipment.

Experience with viscous or hot-pour products such as lotions, creams, gels, emulsions, balms, waxes, sticks, sauces, pharmaceuticals, or similar materials.

Familiarity with piston fillers, gear pumps, lobe pumps, jacketed vessels, heated tanks, heat-traced hoses, fill nozzles, and temperature-controlled transfer systems preferred.

Ability to improve fill accuracy, reduce product waste, increase line reliability, solve production issues, and develop repeatable setup/changeover procedures.

Comfortable working on the production floor, using tools, adjusting equipment, running trials, and solving problems in real time.

Self-directed, practical problem solver who can help build a working packaging system from scratch and transition it into a repeatable production process.

Compensation

Competitive hourly rate

Flexible Schedule: Minimum of 3 days per week on-site, with additional days as needed based on project timelines and installation milestones.
