• Proven ability to independently lead complex laboratory investigations and troubleshoot hardware/software/system interactions; able to develop test approaches, define acceptance criteria, and drive execution through ambiguity
• Strong working knowledge of design controls, requirements traceability, and regulated documentation practices (e.g., GDP/ALCOA); demonstrated ability to communicate technical results, risks, and recommendations to engineering and quality leadership

Travel, Motor Vehicle Record & Physical/Environment Requirements:

• Up to 10% global travel required

It would be a plus if you also possess previous experience in:

• Medical device/IVD product development experience, including design controls and risk management (e.g., ISO 13485, ISO 14971), and successful support of verification/validation for submissions and/or design changes
• Experience leading integration verification for complex electro-mechanical systems with embedded software, including test automation, data analysis/statistics, and/or intermittent failure reproduction
