QA Validation professionals in regulated industries often face the challenge of staying current with evolving compliance standards while ensuring that all processes and documentation meet strict regulatory requirements. They must balance thorough validation activities with tight project timelines, often collaborating closely with cross-functional teams such as manufacturing, engineering, and regulatory affairs. Attention to detail and strong organizational skills are essential, as even small errors can lead to costly delays or regulatory findings. Effective communication with team members and stakeholders is also critical to ensure successful audits and product launches.

What is a QA Validation professional?

QA Validation professionals are specialists responsible for ensuring that products, processes, or systems meet defined quality standards and regulatory requirements. They design and execute tests, document results, and analyze data to confirm that all specifications are met before a product is released or a process goes live. Their work is crucial in industries such as pharmaceuticals, manufacturing, and software, where compliance and consistent quality are essential. QA Validation experts help prevent defects, ensure safety, and maintain customer trust.

Job description

The Senior Engineer, Corporate Quality Assurance – Validation is an individual contributor within the Corporate Quality Assurance organization responsible for ensuring company-wide validation and qualification activities comply with cGMP (21 CFR Parts 210/211), 21 CFR Part 11, and applicable USP and ICH guidelines. This role supports validation of equipment, processes, computerized systems, and analytical methods, including instrument qualification, method validation, and method transfer, while driving risk-based, efficient validation lifecycle practices in an FDA-regulated environment.

The position requires strong expertise in analytical validation and data integrity, with a focus on compliance, quality, and continuous improvement. The role partners across Quva sites to standardize and sustain validation methodologies, ensuring consistency and regulatory alignment.  Working cross-functionally with IT, Quality, Operations, Engineering, Facilities, and Pharmacy Services, the Senior Engineer ensures validation activities are scientifically sound, compliant, and effectively executed to support both projects and routine operations.

The ideal candidate has extensive experience in pharmaceutical manufacturing, deep knowledge of analytical validation, and a strong understanding of global regulatory expectations, contributing to Quva’s mission of expanding access to high-quality, affordable medications.

Your attention to detail and adherence to precise procedures will guarantee that our medications meet the highest standards of safety, efficacy, and quality, providing patients with the best possible care and outcomes. Turn your passion for precision and your commitment to quality into a meaningful impact on healthcare across the US.

This is a hybrid role, located in Sugar Land, Texas.

  • Oversees and enforces data integrity controls in accordance with FDA requirements and ALCOA+ principles
  • Provides QA oversight of laboratory and validation activities to ensure compliance with internal procedures and regulatory standards
  • Reviews and approves validation deliverables (e.g., IQ/OQ/PQ/PV protocols, reports, risk assessments, lifecycle documents, change controls, and Part 11 assessments), ensuring activities are appropriately designed, executed, and documented
  • Authors and executes validation deliverables as needed to support business priorities
  • Serves as QA representative during audits and regulatory inspections related to validation and laboratory systems
  • Partners cross-functionally (QC, Validation, IT, Manufacturing) to ensure validation lifecycle compliance
  • Assesses validation impact within change control processes
  • Supports investigations involving validation deviations or data integrity issues
  • Drives continuous improvement of validation and quality systems
  • Provides technical leadership and mentor junior staff and cross-functional teams

Our Most Successful Senior Engineer, Corporate QA - Validation:

  • Strong attention to detail and critical thinking skills
  • Independent judgment and decision-making
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills
  • Ability to influence cross-functional teams without direct authority
  • Risk-based thinking and problem-solving
  • High level of integrity and accountability

Minimum Requirements for this Role:

  • Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Life Sciences, Chemistry, or related field (advanced degree preferred)
  • 5–8+ years of experience in Quality Assurance, Validation, or related roles within the pharmaceutical or biotech industry

    • Experience reviewing and approving validation documentation
    • Familiarity with GMP (Good Manufacturing Practices) environments
    • Strong background in laboratory validation, including:
  • 18+ years of age
  • Able to successfully complete a drug and background check
  • Must be currently authorized to work in the United States on a full-time basis; Quva is not able to sponsor applicants for work visas

Any of the Following Will Give You an Edge:

  • Exposure to regulatory inspections (e.g., FDA audits) 
  • Knowledge of data integrity principles (e.g., ALCOA+)
