Principal / Senior Design Engineer – Enterprise Server Rack & AI Infrastructure Packaging
Location: Sutton, Massachusetts (Remote Eligible – U.S. Based)
Reports To: Director, Global Business Development
Division: Corporate
Base Salary Range: $120,000 – $160,000 annually
Company Overview
Unified Global Packaging Group, a division of The Kraft Group, is a global leader in engineered packaging systems supporting the world’s most advanced technology supply chains. We partner directly with hyperscale, enterprise, and OEM customers to define packaging strategy, not just supply packaging products.
Our engineering organization operates across North America, Asia, and EMEA, combining advanced simulation and ISTA-certified testing to deliver system-level packaging platforms for enterprise server racks, AI compute infrastructure, and mission-critical data center hardware.
Why This Role Matters
The acceleration of AI infrastructure and hyperscale data center deployment is fundamentally changing how high-value hardware is designed, transported, deployed, and reused.
This role elevates packaging from project execution to platform-level ownership, where packaging decisions directly influence deployment speed, global reuse economics, sustainability outcomes, and compatibility with automated data center operations.
Position Summary
The Senior / Principal Design Engineer – Enterprise Server Rack & AI Infrastructure Packaging is a senior technical leadership role responsible for owning the architecture and evolution of packaging systems used to deploy some of the world’s most valuable compute infrastructure.
This role is ideal for an engineer from a leading packaging provider who is ready to lead platform-level strategy, drive innovation and reuse programs, and influence customers and suppliers through technical leadership.
Key Responsibilities
* Own platform-level structural packaging architecture for enterprise server racks and AI infrastructure.
* Drive innovation and next-generation packaging system development.
* Architect reusable packaging and reverse-logistics ecosystems.
* Own end-to-end execution of complex global packaging programs.
* Lead structural engineering, simulation, testing, and validation.
* Serve as technical interface to hyperscale customers, suppliers, and internal stakeholders.
* Mentor engineers and influence global engineering standards.
Technical Skills & Tools
* Advanced CAD: SOLIDWORKS (or equivalent), ArtiosCAD, Creo
* Structural dynamics, vibration, and cushioning theory
* ISTA testing and packaging performance standards
* Materials: foam, elastomers, wood, corrugated, composites, metals
* Reusable and returnable packaging systems
* Bonus: Simulation utilizing ANSYS and SOLIDWORKS Simulation
Actual compensation will be determined based on factors including, but not limited to, candidate qualifications, relevant experience, role level (Senior vs. Principal), geographic location, and internal equity.
This position is also eligible for performance-based bonus potential and a comprehensive benefits package. Compensation may be adjusted for exceptional candidates who bring highly relevant experience in enterprise server rack packaging, AI infrastructure, or large-scale reusable and circular packaging systems.
Education & Experience
* Bachelor’s Degree in Mechanical, Packaging, Structural, or Industrial Engineering
* 6–10+ years of packaging or structural engineering experience
* Experience supporting high-value or high-mass products (servers, server rack packaging, electronics, industrial equipment)
