●      Support and manage document control, ensuring accurate, complete, and compliant Device History Records (DHR), Design History Files (DHF), and technical files.

●      Lead preparation for and execution of internal audits; coordinate external audits and inspections by FDA, notified bodies, and other regulatory or certification authorities.​

●      Contribute to supplier quality management, including supplier qualification, audits, performance monitoring, and resolution of supplier-related quality issues.​

●      Participate in post-market surveillance activities, including complaint handling, MDRs/adverse event reporting, trend analysis, and implementation of corrective actions.

●      Assist in regulatory submissions and compliance reviews related to product development, lifecycle changes, and market access.

●      Monitor, analyze, and report quality performance metrics and trends to senior management, recommending and driving improvement initiatives.

●      Train, mentor, and develop staff on quality policies, procedures, tools, and regulatory requirements, fostering a culture of quality and compliance.

●      Stay current with regulatory changes, standards updates, and best practices in medical device quality and incorporate them into the QMS and processes.

●      Coordinate with global/offshore teams as needed to ensure alignment of quality processes and standards.

Qualifications

●      Bachelor’s degree or higher in engineering, bioscience, biomedical engineering, quality management, or related technical discipline.​

●      5–10 years of experience in quality management/quality assurance within the medical device industry, including building and managing QMS systems.​

●      In-depth knowledge of FDA 21 CFR Part 820, ISO 13485, ISO 14971, and related global medical device standards and regulations.​

●      Proven experience in leading or participating in FDA inspections and third-party audits (e.g., notified bodies, certification bodies).​

●      Direct experience managing CAPA, complaints, post-market surveillance systems, and MDR/adverse event reporting processes.​

●      Strong understanding of medical device manufacturing processes, design control, validation, and statistical quality control methods.​

●      Excellent documentation skills and experience maintaining quality records (DHR, DHF, technical files) in compliance with regulatory standards.​

●      Strong analytical and logical thinking skills with the ability to interpret data, identify issues, and propose effective, data-driven solutions.

●      Highly detail-oriented with strong organizational skills and the ability to manage multiple priorities in a fast-paced environment.​

●      Exceptional communication and leadership skills, with experience collaborating across functions and training teams.

●      High proficiency in Microsoft Office (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook) and familiarity with quality management software tools.​

Preferred Attributes

●      Experience with Class II or III medical devices and global markets (e.g., EU MDR, Health Canada, other international regulators).

●      Knowledge of lean manufacturing, Six Sigma, or other continuous improvement methodologies; related certifications are a plus.

●      Certification in quality (e.g., ASQ CQM, CQE, CQA) or regulatory affairs is desirable.

●      Willingness and ability to participate in occasional international travel (e.g., Pakistan, India, Saudi Arabia) to engage with offshore or partner teams, if required
