Key Responsibilities:

• Ensure compliance with internal and external specifications, procedures, and applicable requirements, including GMP, ISO 13485, ISO 14971, and FDA.
• Lead the evaluation of complex product quality issues that may affect device performance, patient safety, or regulatory compliance.
• Lead the evaluation and disposition of complex nonconforming material through the Material Review Board (MRB), including product and patient risk assessment and coordination with cross-functional technical resources.
• Lead complex root cause investigations and CAPA activities, including problem definition, root cause analysis, corrective action development, implementation, documentation, and effectiveness verification.
• Provide quality engineering support across orthopedic device manufacturing processes, including precision machining, finishing, inspection, product cleaning, and cleanroom operations.
• Lead and support process and equipment validation activities, including development and review of validation strategies, protocols, and reports for IQ/OQ/PQ.
• Assess product, process, equipment, supplier, and manufacturing changes for potential quality, validation, and regulatory impact.
• Lead and support supplier quality activities, including incoming nonconformances, supplier corrective actions (SCARs), supplier audits, supplier changes, and supplier performance improvement.
• Facilitate design and manufacturing reviews to ensure compliance with quality system requirements and appropriate application of design controls.
• Develop, review, and approve risk-management documentation, including DFMEAs, PFMEAs, and other risk analyses, in alignment with ISO 14971 and applicable procedures.
• Review and approve verification and validation plans, protocols, reports, and design outputs for accuracy, completeness, and compliance.
• Analyze and trend manufacturing, supplier, complaint, and quality-system data to identify emerging risks, systemic issues, and continuous-improvement opportunities.
• Serve as a subject matter expert during internal and external audits, including audit preparation, direct auditor interaction, response development, and closure of findings.
• Develop, review, and maintain quality procedures, work instructions, technical documentation, and controlled records.
• Partner with Manufacturing, Operations, Product Development, Regulatory, Supplier Quality, and other functions to resolve complex quality and compliance issues.
• Lead or support continuous-improvement initiatives using statistical methods, Lean, Six Sigma, and structured problem-solving tools.
• Provide technical guidance and mentoring to less-experienced Quality Engineers and cross-functional team members on investigations, risk management, validation, and quality-system requirements.
• Support special projects and other quality engineering responsibilities as assigned.

Minimum Basic Qualifications:

• Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Biomedical Engineering, Science, or a related technical field and minimum of 5 years of relevant quality, engineering, or regulated manufacturing experience; or an equivalent combination of education and relevant experience.
• Experience in the medical-device, pharmaceutical, aerospace, automotive, or another regulated industry.
• Demonstrated experience leading nonconformance investigations, root cause analysis, CAPA, risk management, and cross-functional problem-solving.
• Experience with process and equipment validation, including IQ/OQ/PQ documentation.
• Working knowledge of ISO 13485, ISO 14971, FDA Quality System requirements, GMP, and good documentation practices.
• Experience applying quality and problem-solving tools such as DMAIC, 8D, FMEA, statistical analysis, and risk-based decision-making.
• Knowledge of manufacturing processes such as precision machining, finishing, inspection/metrology, product cleaning, cleanroom operations, and sterilization.
• Ability to interpret engineering drawings, specifications, and Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing (GD&T).
• Demonstrated ability to write clear, concise, and technically sound documentation.
• Proficiency with Microsoft Excel, Word, and PowerPoint.

Desired Characteristics:

• Ability to work independently, manage competing priorities, and exercise sound engineering judgment on complex issues.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to explain technical and compliance topics to varied audiences.
• Ability to lead cross-functional teams without direct authority and drive actions to timely closure.
• Professional ethics, attention to detail, and commitment to patient safety and product quality.
