  • Review facility changes and provide input on re-validation and re-qualification of equipment
  • Assess risks in processing steps related to equipment; develop and/or review validation requirements and design deliverables
  • Engage cross-functionally with Engineering and Operations to support validation and process improvement efforts
  • Conduct validation qualifications per applicable protocols and identify protocol excursions
  • Track industry trends in validation and regulatory expectations, proposing program updates as needed

Requirements:

  • Bachelor's degree or higher in a STEM discipline
  • 5–8 years of experience in Validation or a related discipline

Benefits:

  • 11 observed holidays
  • 401(k) with company match up to 3.5%, vested immediately
  • Choice of health & wellness plans
  • FSA and HSA programs
  • Dental & vision care
