  • Drive process design for new equipment and ensure product design requirements are met.
  • Execute commissioning and qualification activities for new and existing equipment.
  • Provide technical oversight to ensure equipment meets safety, regulatory, and operational standards.
  • Manage suppliers and external vendors on capital projects, controlling scope, cost, and lead time.
  • Collaborate with Procurement and Legal on vendor contracts.
  • Create and maintain engineering documentation (URS, assembly instructions, bill of process, etc.).
  • Optimize equipment design for manufacturability, cost reduction, maintainability, and efficiency.
  • Lead design reviews, risk assessments, and FMEA to ensure reliability and performance.
  • Ensure compliance with all safety regulations and quality policies, procedures, and GMP standards.
  • Apply statistical analysis and SPC systems to support data-driven decision-making.
  • Manage multiple priorities and maintain equipment qualification schedules.

Qualifications:

  • Minimum 4 years of engineering experience in pharmaceutical and/or medical device industries.
  • Demonstrated experience across the full validation lifecycle (URS, FAT, SAT, CSV).
  • Proven track record supporting full project implementation: design, installation, startup, commissioning, and qualification.
  • Strong experience executing capital projects within GMP-regulated manufacturing environments.
  • Familiarity with GMP, ISO standards, Lean Manufacturing, and FDA-regulated environments.
  • Ability to work independently and lead solutions under general direction.
  • Strong organization, and communication skills
