Essential Duties and Responsibilities Perform thorough daily review and verification of BPRs/product release records, standard operating logs, and testing documentation against physical manufactured products to ensure data integrity, completeness, and adherence to GDP. Approve final product release, ensuring inspection/verification of product labeling, packaging, and storage conditions is completed prior to approval. Initiate, investigate, and document OOS results, process deviations, customer complaints, and nonconformances. Assist in root-cause analyses (RCA) investigations alongside cross-functional teams (QC, R&D, Production, Operations, Warehouse) and ensure effective corrective and preventative actions (CAPA) using established problem-solving tools (e.g., 5 Whys, Fishbone diagrams) are implemented. Track CAPA milestones within the EQMS to ensure timely implementation, closure, and verification of effectiveness.

Implement supplier quality management activities by qualifying, monitoring, and evaluating supplier performance to ensure materials and services consistently meet quality, regulatory, and business requirements. Conduct routine internal QMS walkthroughs and technical floor audits across manufacturing departments, compounding areas, testing labs, and biobank/biorepository storage rooms to maintain audit readiness. Monitor ambient and cold-chain environmental parameters, verifying that specimen storage units, freezers, and cleanrooms adhere to established environmental specifications. Identify operational non-compliance or procedural drift and partner with departmental managers/supervisors to drive immediate corrections. Review and update as needed controlled documents through the EQMS (Ideagen), ensuring standard operating procedures, raw material specifications, Batch Records, Test Methods, and all other controlled forms for correctness. Maintain physical and digital QA archives, ensuring batch folders, calibration logs, and qualification records remain readily retrievable for internal and third-party audits. If needed, execute analytical and visual testing across raw materials, in-process intermediates, and finished goods (e.g., PCR, ELISA, wet chemistry, radioactive/fluorescent assays), documenting findings in batch quality records. Support the execution of Verification and Validation (V&V) protocols for equipment, analytical methods, raw material vendors, utilities, and manufacturing processes by organizing test data and reviewing validation documentation. Monitor statistical process control charts (e.g., Levey-Jennings charts) for diagnostic testing and compounding processes to detect quality drifts. Handle documentation associated with hazardous chemicals and low-level diagnostic materials in accordance with established company safety protocols and USDA, CFIA, & NRC safety guidelines. Represent Quality on design and development project teams.
