I am about to start a new Starfinder (Dead Suns) campaign and already have several sets of pawns (CRB, AA1, DSAP, Beginner Box) but at the moment I've yet to poke them out of the cardboard so they are all still neatly stacked in their original packages. I'm curious what folks have found to be a good way to organize their pawns that are actually in use to allow you to find what you need when you need it? Also, hopefully something reasonably portable in case we play at different locations.

Small Ziplocks or some other sandwich-esque bag have worked for me in board games with an abundance of tokens. While I don't use pawns, myself, I'd probably default to grouping things similarly.
Downside, of course, is you wind up with a lot of bags depending on how specific you get with your grouping.
As for transit, any Wal-Mart or Target type store will have cases that range in size and sturdiness.
Although, you can always consider buying a tackle-box. They have segmented partitions for fishing gear you could just as easily adapt for pawns, dice, etc.
A sewing kit box (which I have less experience with),given the nature of thread spools, needles, thimbles, so on, might also be worth looking into to adapt for TTRPG clutter.

I put them back in the cardboard frames and stack several groups of pawns into the AA1 & AA2 boxes. I was disappointed when AA3 & 4 didn't have those boxes as I am now running out of room for new pawns... granted I probably have enough now.

My wife and I purchased several tackleboxes which we use for organizing pawns in. Less than 30$ in all. You can print out a book cover and tape/glue it to the inside plastic cover so it looks all snazzy and identifies the contents.
We especially like the ones that have dividers, so you can re-arrange and shift to accomodate larger pawns.
