The Opportunity
We're building out our quality function from the ground up, and we're looking for a Senior Quality Engineer to help us do it. You'll bring hands-on software quality engineering experience to support our software and firmware teams in meeting IEC 62304, ISO 14971, and ISO 13485/FDA QMSR requirements throughout the product lifecycle.
Reporting to our Quality Manager, you'll contribute to design control reviews, help maintain the software risk management file, and support release and change control decisions. This is a role for someone who wants to help stand up a quality function early and grow into more independent authority as the function matures.
