• Documentation & Compliance. Support the creation and maintenance of documentation, including requirements specifications, system architecture, and risk analyses, ensuring alignment with regulatory standards such as ISO13485 and IEC62304. Provide clear, compliant documentation accessible to engineering, manufacturing, and quality teams.
• Verification & Validation Activities. Take an active role in the verification process by developing test plans and protocols, supporting verification activities, and documenting results. Ensure that all system components meet specifications and regulatory requirements and that risk mitigation measures are effective.
• Strong understanding of quality management practices in medical device development, with an interest in playing an active role in improving the existing Quality Management System.
• Risk Management & Compliance. Familiarity with risk analyses according to ISO14971.
• Project Management & Communication. Coordinate cross-functional teams, oversee the project planning and act as a liaison between stakeholders, including HW & SW design, quality, and regulatory teams, to ensure that requirements, design, and verification activities are well-documented and align with project goals and regulatory standards.

What we expect from you
