Addressing these complexities necessitates specialized support to assess regulatory identity, manage technical documentation, review manufacturer data, and coordinate change control activities.
We seek a dedicated quality systems engineer consultant to provide additional DHT Technical Capabilities to help us fill critical gaps for assessing regulatory identity, technical documentation, change control, remediation and upskilling activities to help train teams new to working with DHTs.
Your expertise will be instrumental in bridging our current capability gaps, ensuring compliance, and enabling the seamless integration of DHTs across Clients Pharma's studies.This assignment is based within the Digital Endpoints and Patient Solutions (DEPCS) group's Product Management and Design team, and cover needs across product development portfolio.

* Compile and maintain the „Asset List" (Technical Documentation), perform technical reviews of manufacturer data, and author or review technical content for submission documents.
* Digital & Regulatory Identity: Co-lead the regulatory characterization of DHTs with the Product Management & Design Leaders, which involves providing input into Clients's internal Device Regulatory Assessment and supporting updates.
* Change Control: Act as the intake point and primary assessor for changes during a study, rigorously evaluating the impact on technical accuracy, documentation, and overall study integrity. Work will also help inform third party manufacturers of updates needed in their design control documentation.
* Evaluation: Support manufacturer qualification activities with Quality, Product Managers, Business Strategy & Operations and Procurement teams to evaluate vendor capabilities and identify technical gaps to inform viability of use as a third party manufacturer.
* Review Manufacturer Design History Files (DHFs) and product development documentation: from the third party DHT product manufacturers
* Conduct Risk Management and computer systems validation (CSV) for products not classified as medical device, when necessary and per Clients's global standard operating procedures (SOPs)
* Ensure compliance with Clients's internal quality standards and global standard operating procedures (SOPs) for medical devices, including sourcing, clinical investigation, risk management, and clinical performance procedures.
* Draft or support product managers, clinical scientists, or other clinical teams with drafting technical documentation or risk management plans to meet Clients SOP, ISO standards or Health Authority Requirements.
