  • Documentation & Compliance: Ensure all activities are thoroughly documented to meet FDA, AATB, and ISO standards and support audit readiness.
  • Cross-Department Collaboration: Collaborate closely with Quality Assurance, Regulatory Affairs, and Production teams to ensure equipment aligns with operational goals and quality benchmarks.
  • System Administration: Administer the PharmaWatch equipment monitoring system, enabling real-time tracking and compliance for critical equipment.
  • Continuous Improvement: Proactively identify areas for process improvements, upgrades, and new equipment to drive operational excellence in our expanding facilities.
  • Regulatory Knowledge: Maintain a deep understanding of FDA 21 CFR 1271, 21 CFR 820, AATB standards, ISO requirements, and internal SOPs.


Qualifications:

  • Education: Bachelor’s Degree in Engineering, Operations Management, or a related technical field.
  • Experience: 7-10 years in regulated industries like tissue manufacturing, medical devices, or labs, with extensive experience in equipment validation and maintenance.
  • Industry-Specific Expertise: Background in medical device or tissue bank environments, specifically with cleanrooms and equipment like packaging sealers, tray sealers, steam sterilizers, desiccators, incubators, and thermometers, is highly preferred.
