   Work on complex, high-impact issues where broad analysis of product performance, process capability, quality data, customer requirements, and regulatory expectations is required.
   Identify, prioritize, and lead quality improvement opportunities that reduce risk, improve process robustness, reduce variation, improve scrap rates, increase yield, and strengthen overall value stream performance.
   Act as a consistent quality presence throughout development, manufacturing, change implementation, and post-market activities, not solely at the review or approval stage. 
Design Control, Risk Management & Technical Quality Execution
   Lead and support design control activities for new product, sustaining, and change projects, including design reviews, design inputs/outputs, verification and validation planning, traceability, design transfer, and design history file documentation.
   Serve as a technical quality resource for risk management activities, including DFMEA, PFMEA, hazard analysis, risk assessment, RACTs, risk acceptability, residual risk evaluation, and risk control effectiveness.
   Develop, review, and approve quality plans, regulatory compliance strategies, test strategies, inspection strategies, and validation approaches for complex projects.
   Lead or support creation and maintenance of technical and quality documentation including drawings, specifications, procedures, inspection methods, control plans, risk management files, traceability matrices, validation protocols/reports, verification protocols/reports, and design control documentation.
   Provide quality oversight for process validations, equipment validations, test method validations, sterilization-related assessments, biocompatibility assessments, packaging or labeling changes, and other quality or regulatory deliverables as applicable.
   Independently assess the impact of product, process, material, supplier, equipment, labeling, and manufacturing changes and define appropriate quality deliverables based on risk, regulation, and quality system requirements.
   Collaborate with Engineering to develop practical validation and verification strategies that are scientifically sound, statistically justified, compliant, and aligned with business and customer needs.

   Lead complex root cause investigations related to nonconformances, CAPAs, complaints, audit findings, process issues, supplier issues, customer concerns, and post-market quality signals.
   Apply structured problem-solving methods such as 5-Why, Fishbone, DMAIC, PDCA, statistical analysis, process mapping, and other appropriate quality tools based on the problem being solved.
   Ensure root cause investigations identify systemic causes and result in sustainable corrective and preventive actions rather than documentation-only closure.
   Partner directly with Manufacturing, Engineering, Operations, and Supplier Quality to resolve quality issues impacting materials, assembly, functional performance, inspection, process capability, equipment, and product release.
   Analyze quality data, complaint trends, nonconformance trends, process performance, yield, scrap, inspection results, and other metrics to identify emerging risks and prioritize improvement efforts.
   Support production environments through hands-on issue resolution, change implementation, defect reduction, containment, disposition support, and continuous improvement.
   Evaluate process controls, inspection methods, acceptance criteria, sampling approaches, and manufacturing procedures to ensure they are effective, risk-based, and aligned with product requirements.  

 Quality Systems, Compliance & Audit Readiness
   Interpret applicable regulatory and standard requirements and translate them into practical and effective quality system implementation.
