Hi there, we're Article. We're a North American online furniture company creating remarkably better furniture experiences one sofa at a time. And as the Vietnam Junior Packaging Engineer (Intern), you'll be reviewing and validating suppliers packaging specifications and testing reports against Article's standards.
This will be a 6 month term, for a recent graduate with an engineering degree. If you are already working as an engineer for over one year, you will NOT be considered for this role.
Why We Need You:
As part of the Packaging team, based in HCMC, you will support the Packaging Engineer in working with our suppliers to validate packaging specification documents and carton markings to ensure they meet Article's requirements.
Why Article?
While, we sell to the North American market, we work closely with several of our manufacturing partners throughout Asia. As a result, we have an office in Thao Dien, Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam where we currently have around 50 Particles (people of Article) working.
As a Particle (people of Article), you will have a high level of autonomy to solve challenging, meaningful problems the best way you can. That means you're trusted to explore solutions you believe will work best (you're the expert, after all). You'll do all this while growing your skills within a company that is redefining the furniture industry.
