Job description

Mid-Level Graphic Designer

Location: Edenvale, Johannesburg (In-office)

Working Hours: Monday to Friday, 08:00 – 17:00

About SMD Technologies

SMD Technologies is a leading distributor and brand owner of consumer electronics and lifestyle products across South Africa and international markets. Our portfolio spans multiple in‑house brands and categories, with a strong focus on quality, consistency, and scalable design systems.

About the Role

We’re looking for a mid-level Graphic Designer who understands commercial design, production realities, and brand consistency—and who can confidently take packaging from brief to print‑ready artwork.

Key Responsibilities

  • Design and develop retail packaging across multiple product categories and brands
  • Apply and interpret brand guidelines accurately across packaging ranges
  • Prepare print-ready artwork, including correct dielines, bleeds, CMYK conversion, and image retouching
  • Deep‑etch, retouch, and quality‑check product imagery supplied by local and international suppliers
  • Ensure accuracy of specifications, features, warnings, barcodes, and legal requirements
  • Collaborate closely with Product Development, Traffic, Marketing, and Quality Control teams
  • Manage multiple packaging projects simultaneously while meeting deadlines
  • Implement feedback efficiently and maintain high design and technical standards
  • Adhere to internal SOPs, workflows, and approval processes

Required Skills & Experience

  • 3–5 years’ experience in packaging design (retail or FMCG experience advantageous)
  • Strong proficiency in Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop, and InDesign
  • Solid understanding of print production, dielines, finishes, and packaging constraints
  • High attention to detail and high quality‑control mindset
  • Ability to work methodically under pressure and manage multiple SKUs/projects
  • Comfortable working in a structured, process‑driven environment
  • Strong communication skills and ability to take direction and feedback constructively

Advantageous (But Not Essential)

  • Experience with consumer electronics or technical products
  • Knowledge of international packaging requirements (warnings, compliance icons, multilingual layouts)
  • Experience working with Asian suppliers or factory‑supplied assets
  • Experience working with international brands like Disney, Nickelodeon, DC, or similar.

What We Offer

  • The chance to work on some of the funkiest and biggest audio and homewares brands in South Africa (and the world).
  • Free coffee
  • Free on‑site gym access
  • Active sports clubs and social environment
  • Performance-based rewards and incentives
  • Opportunity to work across multiple established brands and high-volume product ranges
  • Structured workflows, clear expectations, and growth opportunities

SMD Technologies is an equal opportunity employer and is committed to the principles of employment equity. In accordance with the Company’s Employment Equity Plan and the requirements of the Employment Equity Act, preference may be given to suitably qualified candidates from designated groups. Applications from persons with disabilities are encouraged.
