Frequently Asked Questions

What is the real cost to hire Packaging Design engineers versus outstaffing?

The total cost to Hire Packaging Engineer talent in-house includes recruiter fees, employer taxes, benefits, and ramp-up time. With smartbrain.io you pay a transparent hourly rate that already covers payroll, insurance, and equipment. On average clients save 30 – 45 % versus salaried hires while gaining the flexibility to scale headcount up or down monthly. No long-term liabilities, no hidden costs, just vetted expertise on demand.

How does smartbrain.io protect my intellectual property and sensitive formulas?

Every Hire Packaging Engineer consultant signs strict NDAs, and we execute Master Service Agreements with robust IP assignment clauses. Work happens within your secure environment, VPN, or VDI. We also maintain SOC 2-ready processes, encrypted comms, and optional dedicated workstations. You retain 100 % ownership of all deliverables, drawings, and specifications produced during the engagement.

Will time-zone differences impact collaboration with remote Packaging Design engineers?

smartbrain.io aligns staffing to your preferred core hours. Over 80 % of our Packaging Design engineers overlap at least 4 working hours with U.S. teams. Daily stand-ups, Slack channels, and shared sprint boards ensure seamless real-time collaboration regardless of geography, keeping projects on schedule and stakeholders in the loop.

What contract terms come with your staff-augmentation service?

Engagements start with a simple month-to-month agreement—no lock-ins. You can scale the team up, down, or pause with two-week notice. This gives you the agility to match engineering effort to product cycles without carrying permanent overhead.

How are candidates vetted before they reach my desk?

smartbrain.io runs a 4-stage screening: technical skills assessment, portfolio review, soft-skills interview, and live design challenge. Only the top 3 % make it to your shortlist, ensuring every Packaging Design engineer you interview is already proven in real-world scenarios.

What if the engineer is not the right fit after onboarding?

We provide a 14-day replacement guarantee. If performance or culture fit misses the mark, we replace the engineer at no cost and minimal downtime, keeping your project momentum intact.

How soon can an engineer start after the discovery call?

Typical kickoff happens within 48 hours. Once we align on requirements, you receive a curated shortlist the next business day, conduct interviews, and start onboarding immediately—often within two days of the initial call.
