Key Responsibilities:

  • Lead and execute CQV activities for GMP equipment including:

    • Autoclaves
    • CIP/SIP systems
    • Bioreactors
    • Incubators
    • Freezers
    • Refrigerators
    • Centrifuges
    • Washers
    • Controlled temperature units
    • Environmental chambers
    • HVAC systems
    • Clean steam generators
    • WFI systems
    • Process tanks
    • Utility systems (compressed air, nitrogen, etc.)
  • Develop and review validation documentation including URS, DQ, IQ, OQ, and PQ protocols and reports.

  • Perform risk assessments and impact analyses to support validation strategy.

  • Coordinate with client engineering, automation, and quality teams to ensure alignment on project goals and timelines.

  • Troubleshoot and resolve equipment and process issues during commissioning and qualification phases.

  • Maintain compliance with cGMP, FDA, and other applicable regulatory requirements.

  • Provide timely updates and communicate effectively with client stakeholders.

Qualifications:

  • Bachelor’s degree in engineering, Life Sciences, or related field.

  • Strong understanding of validation lifecycle and regulatory expectations.
  • Experience with automated systems and controls integration is a plus.
  • Excellent organizational and communication skills.
  • Ability to work independently and manage multiple priorities.

This is an excellent opportunity for anyone who can be onsite in NEPA and lead equipment CQV efforts, along with another team that is performing computer system validation. We will need others to be staff validation engineers in the future as well, but this is for someone who can work independently and provide some leadership on the technical side. Apply if interested.
