  • Support internal and external audits, including remediation activities when required.
  • Contribute to continuous improvement initiatives by identifying gaps and implementing practical solutions.
  • Act as a quality advocate, offering guidance on documentation best practices to software, design, manufacturing, and other functional teams.
  • Provide support across all aspects of Quality Engineering.

  • 35+ years of experience in Quality Engineering, with direct involvement in medical device software development (diagnostics experience preferred).
  • Strong knowledge of IEC 62304, ISO 13485, ISO 14971, and related regulatory frameworks.
  • Hands-on experience with technical documentation, configuration management, change control, and risk management processes.
  • Familiarity with software development methodologies (Agile/Scrum) and tools such as Jira, Confluence, and Git.
  • Experience with electronic quality management systems (eQMS) is a plus.
  • Excellent written communication, organisational, and collaborative skills.
