  • Maintain accurate, legible, and complete documentation for all activities, following data integrity guidelines (ALCOA+ principles).

  • Collaborate with maintenance, manufacturing, engineering, and quality assurance to resolve technical issues.
  • Cross-functional Collaboration
  • Work closely with Manufacturing, QA, Validation, and Engineering teams to introduce new equipment and improve existing processes.
  • Provide subject-matter expertise on fill-finish system requirements, risk assessments, and regulatory trends.
  • Continuous Improvement

  • 2+ years of experience in pharmaceutical or biotechnology manufacturing, with demonstrated expertise in equipment qualification and validation.
  • Prior experience with aseptic fill-finish processes is strongly preferred.
  • Strong understanding of cGMP, FDA, and EU regulations for drug manufacturing, especially regarding validation and qualification.

  • Ability to manage multiple projects and adapt to evolving priorities.

Desired Skills
