CSV Quality Engineer Lead- Part-Time
The Opportunity

A growing technology company serving pharmaceutical and other regulated manufacturing environments is seeking an experienced CSV Quality Engineer Lead.

This is a Quality leadership role responsible for establishing and maintaining the company’s quality systems and providing independent oversight of computerized system validation activities.

The CSV Quality Engineer Lead will not serve as the primary validation executor or routine software tester. Engineering, Product, and designated validation resources will create requirements, conduct testing, and produce technical evidence. This role will provide Quality governance by defining expectations, reviewing and approving validation strategies and deliverables, assessing risk, identifying compliance gaps, and confirming that systems remain in a validated and controlled state.

The successful candidate will also build and mature the company’s quality infrastructure. This includes developing SOPs, implementing document and change controls, overseeing deviations and CAPAs, establishing training and supplier-quality processes, conducting quality reviews, and preparing the organization for customer audits.

This person must be able to maintain appropriate Quality independence while partnering constructively with Engineering, Product, Operations, and leadership.
