  • Review and improve validation documentation using ISO 13485 standards
  • Support risk-based validation activities and protocol updates
  • Rework and improve existing validation documents as needed
  • Partner cross-functionally with quality, operations, and engineering teams
  • Help drive validation timelines to support launch readiness

What We’re Looking For

  • 2+ years of validation engineering experience
  • Experience writing and executing validation protocols
  • Strong working knowledge of IQ / OQ / PQ
  • Experience with equipment validation and process validation
  • ISO 13485 experience required
  • Experience in medical device, diagnostics, biotech, or pharma environments
  • Comfortable in a fast-paced, highly collaborative onsite environment

Preferred

  • Lab equipment validation experience
  • GMP experience
  • Risk-based validation experience
  • Startup or fast-growth environment experience

Why This Role

  • High-visibility validation work tied directly to product launch
  • Fast-moving team with strong leadership support
  • Opportunity to make immediate impact
  • Contract-to-hire potential based on performance and business needs

Location: Petaluma, CA
Schedule: 100% onsite
Type: Contract to Hire
Pay: $45 to $58/hr DOE
