> Associate Product Designer - Packaging & Product Operations

Location: San Carlos, California, United States
Profile: https://flows.cv/simransekhon

I am an Associate Product Designer working in the life sciences and diagnostics space, with hands-on experience in packaging and product operations for diagnostic sample collection kits.

My work focuses on supporting the development of new kits as well as updates to existing kits, translating product and user requirements into practical packaging designs that can be manufactured, shipped, and scaled reliably.

I have experience contributing to design controls activities, including design inputs and outputs, DHF and DMR documentation, and supporting ECOs throughout the product lifecycle. I have also conducted temperature and shipping studies to evaluate packaging performance and help ensure sample integrity under real-world distribution conditions.

I enjoy hands-on technical execution and working closely with quality, manufacturing, supply chain, and program teams to support compliant and operationally ready product launches. I am particularly interested in continuing to grow as a product development and packaging engineer within regulated life sciences and diagnostics environments.
