What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as an Equipment Validation Engineer, and why are they important?

To thrive as an Equipment Validation Engineer, you need a strong background in engineering principles, process validation, and regulatory standards such as GMP, typically supported by a degree in engineering or a related field. Familiarity with validation protocols (IQ/OQ/PQ), data analysis software, and documentation systems is essential, and certifications like Six Sigma or CQE can be advantageous. Attention to detail, strong problem-solving skills, and effective communication are critical soft skills for this role. These competencies ensure equipment operates reliably and compliantly, supporting product quality and regulatory approval in highly regulated industries.

In contrast, the Quality Assurance Engineer concentrates on maintaining overall product quality and process improvements. Both roles are essential in regulated industries but serve different aspects of quality management.

How does an Equipment Validation Engineer typically collaborate with cross-functional teams during a validation project?

As an Equipment Validation Engineer, you will regularly work alongside quality assurance, manufacturing, engineering, and regulatory teams. Your role involves gathering input from these departments to develop comprehensive validation protocols and ensure equipment meets necessary standards. Effective communication and project management skills are essential, as you'll coordinate timelines, document results, and ensure that all stakeholders are aligned throughout the validation process. This collaborative environment offers valuable exposure to various functions within the organization and fosters both technical and interpersonal skill development.

What are Equipment Validation Engineers?

Equipment Validation Engineers are professionals responsible for ensuring that manufacturing equipment and systems operate according to required specifications and regulatory standards. They develop and execute validation protocols, conduct equipment testing, and document results to demonstrate compliance with industry guidelines, such as those set by the FDA or ISO. Their work is essential in industries like pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, and medical devices, where validated equipment is critical to product safety and quality.

Job Title: GMP Equipment Validation Engineer - CQV

Position Overview:

We are seeking a highly motivated and detail-oriented GMP Equipment Validation Engineer to support Commissioning, Qualification, and Validation (CQV) activities for a range of manufacturing and utility equipment at a client site in Swiftwater, PA. This role is ideal for someone who thrives in a dynamic environment, can work independently, and is confident interfacing directly with client teams.

Our CQV team collaborates closely with the client across multiple facets of controls and automation, ensuring seamless integration and compliance with regulatory standards. The ideal candidate will bring strong technical expertise, excellent communication skills, and a proactive approach to problem-solving. The ideal candidate has experience leading the equipment CQV efforts of a team that also includes computer system validation engineers and specialists. 

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.
  • 3+ years of experience in CQV within a GMP-regulated environment.
  • 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.
