  • Supporting verification, validation, and design transfer activities, ensuring alignment between design outputs and production processes
  • Leading or supporting CAPA, nonconformance investigations, and root cause analysis to drive continuous improvement
  • Supporting internal and external audits (FDA, Notified Body, ISO), and contributing to regulatory submissions (e.g., IDE, PMA, EU MDR)
Required Skills
  • 10+ years of experience in Quality Engineering supporting regulated medical device development (Class II/III preferred)
  • Strong hands-on experience with design controls, DHF management, and traceability in regulated environments
  • Working knowledge of applicable standards and regulations (e.g., 21 CFR 820, ISO 13485, ISO 14971, IEC 62304)
  • Experience supporting software quality within the SDLC and understanding of software risk management principles
  • Proven experience with risk management tools (e.g., FMEA, hazard analysis) and integration into product development
  • Experience supporting audits and regulatory submissions, with the ability to defend design and quality documentation
