Quality Assurance Specialist Jobs

A Quality Assurance (QA) Specialist in the biotechnology industry is responsible for ensuring that the biomedical products, pharmaceuticals, and medical devices produced meet strict quality standards. They conduct routine audits, develop quality control procedures, and oversee the manufacturing process to ensure compliance with legal regulations and industry standards. QA Specialists also assist in problem-solving efforts relating to quality management and perform regular inspections, documenting any discrepancies and implementing corrective actions when necessary.

A strong candidate for a QA Specialist typically requires a bachelor's degree in biology, chemistry, or a related field. They should have excellent attention to detail, strong communication skills, and the ability to work in a regulated environment. A working knowledge of FDA regulations, ISO standards, and GMP (Good Manufacturing Practices) is often required. Certified Quality Engineer (CQE), Certified Quality Auditor (CQA), or Certified Quality Improvement Associate (CQIA) are relevant certifications. Prior to becoming a QA Specialist, a person might have roles such as a Lab Technician, Quality Control Analyst, or Research Associate in the biotechnology field.
