• Administer and assist in the development of standards and workflows within the QMS
• Interface with the R&D team to ensure that PDLC processes and design principles fulfill anticipated regulatory requirements
• Perform gap analysis between existing processes and documentation and manage the updating process
• Assess compliance with standards and regulations and identify remedial actions where necessary
• Interface with Ethical Research Boards and participating academic or health institutions during studies and trials

Who You Are

• 3–5 years of experience working within a regulated quality environment, preferably in medical device development and commercialization
• Practical experience maintaining or supporting a Quality Management System
• Working knowledge of ISO 13485 and or ISO 9001 requirements
