  • Establishing and maintaining DHF, DMR, and DHR, ensuring complete traceability from user needs through verification and validation evidence

  • Providing quality oversight of software SDLC activities, ensuring compliance with applicable standards (e.g., IEC 62304) and integration with system-level risk management
  • Reviewing and approving design, software, and validation deliverables to ensure completeness, consistency, and audit readiness
  • Supporting verification, validation, and design transfer activities, ensuring alignment between design outputs and production processes

  • Strong analytical, documentation, and communication skills with ability to work effectively across cross-functional teams
  • Experience with quality systems, eQMS/PLM tools, and defect/CAPA management processes
