Title : Instrument Validation Specialist

Location : West Point, PA

Duration : 6-12 months contract

Notes :

Looking for an Instrument Validation Specialist - need someone familiar with lab equipment, but the overall project will be for both pharmaceutical equipment validation, as well as an overall system implementation.

We had a candidate that withdrew right before the last step in the process so we're trying to move quick to identify backups.

This will be within the client's quality control labs in their manufacturing division. Need someone that has worked in GMP / GxP environments, hands-on lab equipment validation experience, and lab / QC system implementation experience.

Need someone with strong communication skills so they can work independently with key stakeholders. Role is through the end of the year with a possible extension.

Candidates MUST be local to the West Point, PA area - the team is requiring this individual to be onsite some days out of the week (hybrid schedule).

No set amount of days, just depends on the work (some weeks could be 1 day, some weeks could be 4).

Job Description :

We currently have a contract opportunity for an Instrument Validation Specialist - Contractor to assist our client with the validation of their laboratory equipment through a hybrid work schedule.

• Develop, review, and execute validation protocols for laboratory instruments, including qualification activities such as IQ (Installation Qualification), OQ(Operational Qualification), and PQ (Performance Qualification) within the manufacturing division of the client.
• Monitor and assess the performance of pharmaceutical instruments within Quality Control Labs, as well as conduct re-validation or calibration to maintain instrument integrity over its lifecycle.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams including laboratory personnel, equipment vendors, and engineering staff to ensure proper implementation of validation activities.
• Ensure ongoing compliance with GxP / GMP(Good Manufacturing Practices), GLP(Good Laboratory Practices), and other applicable regulations.
• Maintain detailed and organized documentation for all validation activities, including validation plans, test results, and final reports.

Qualifications :

Candidates must be relatively local to West Point, PA in order to be considered - this position will likely require multiples days of on-site work each week.

• Minimum of 5 years of experience in an Instrument Validation role within a healthcare, pharmaceutical, or other related industries.
• Expert knowledge of validation principles, regulatory standards, and industry guidelines for instrument validation.
• Excellent organizational skills with the proven ability to work independently.
• Proficiency in written and verbal communication, with the ability to produce clear and detailed validation documentation.
• Ability to identify opportunities for process improvements and participate in the implementation of quality improvement initiatives by working closely with key stakeholders.
