What is the job of the product engineer in pulp and paper industry?
The product engineer designs new kinds of paper. He might be asked for a blue-white uncoated text sheet that is suitable for web offset printing, with a weight of 80 pounds, that contains five percent recycled blue jeans, 40 percent post-consumer recycled paper and 15 percent hemp. It needs to have a certain amount of gloss, it’s got to fold in a certain direction and it needs to cost 10 percent less than the company’s most popular paper. The product engineer will invent a paper that can do all these things.
