About the role

We are seeking an Automation and Controls CQV Engineer to provide independent technical oversight and hands-on support for vendor-controlled bioprocess equipment.

• Bachelor’s degree in Automation Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Computer Engineering or a related discipline.
• Approximately five or more years of automation, controls or computerized-equipment experience in pharmaceutical or biotechnology manufacturing.

• Experience supporting FAT, SAT, commissioning or qualification testing.
