The Role
Lead remediation of metrology and calibration programs in regulated industries. Perform gap assessments, risk‑based impact analyses, OOT/OOC evaluations, and author CAPAs, procedures, and risk assessments. Improve calibration compliance, apply dimensional metrology and MSA, use statistical tools (Minitab), support audits, train stakeholders, and manage cross‑functional remediation projects to ensure regulatory and customer inspection readiness.
Summary Generated by Built In
We are seeking a highly experienced Senior Quality Engineer with 5+ years of expertise in metrology and calibration systems within a regulated manufacturing environment. The ideal candidate will be capable of assessing the current state of the calibration program, identifying compliance and technical gaps, performing risk‑based impact assessments, and leading a comprehensive remediation effort that withstands internal audits, customer audits, and regulatory inspections.
Key Responsibilities
- Lead or support remediation of metrology and calibration programs in regulated industries (medical device, pharmaceutical, aerospace, etc.).
- Conduct gap assessments, identify compliance deficiencies, and develop sustainable remediation plans.
- Address audit observations, CAPAs, and regulatory findings related to calibration systems.
- Improve calibration compliance, reduce overdue calibrations, and strengthen calibration governance.
- Apply deep knowledge of dimensional metrology, measurement system analysis, and calibration principles.
- Demonstrate strong understanding of measurement uncertainty, tolerance analysis, traceability, guard banding, and calibration intervals.
- Perform fitness‑for‑use evaluations and apply decision rules (PAR, TMU, Z%, RSS guardbanding).
- Support calibration and troubleshooting of equipment such as:
- Ultrasonic welders
- Pneumatic presses
- Vision systems
- Automated assembly cells
- Injection molding equipment
- Packaging equipment (FFS, band sealers, shuttle sealers)
- CMMs
- Force/torque systems
- Leak and flow instruments
- Environmental monitoring equipment
- Evaluate out‑of‑tolerance (OOT) conditions and determine product/validation impact.
- Ensure compliance with applicable standards and regulations, including:
- ISO 13485
- 21 CFR Part 820 / QMSR
- ISO 17025 principles
- 21 CFR Part 11 (as applicable)
- Gage R&R and MSA methodologies
- Author and revise calibration procedures, deviations, CAPAs, impact assessments, and risk assessments.
- Support internal, customer, and regulatory audits.
- Independently assess calibration events using risk‑based methodologies.
- Conduct OOT/OOC impact assessments and analyze historical calibration data.
- Apply statistical tools (Minitab or equivalent) to evaluate measurement trends and equipment performance.
- Justify disposition decisions using objective evidence and scientific rationale.
- Lead remediation and improvement initiatives across Engineering, Manufacturing, Validation, Laboratory Operations, and Quality.
- Manage project timelines, prioritize activities, and ensure deliverables are met.
- Train personnel, influence stakeholders, and implement lasting improvements to metrology processes and procedures.
