Senior Validations Engineer (6-Month Contract)
Location: Galway

An exciting opportunity has arisen with an early-stage medical device company that is developing an innovative solution for the treatment of Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH). BPH is a common condition that affects over 50% of men over the age of 50, often resulting in significant discomfort and a diminished quality of life. Current treatment options are frequently invasive or ineffective, leading many patients to delay intervention.

To support continued development and manufacturing efforts, we are seeking a Senior Validations Engineer on a 6-month contract basis. This role will be integral to advancing validation activities associated with the manufacture and testing of a novel urological device.

• Maintain compliance with Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) and 21 CFR Part 820 in all validation work.
• Facilitate cross-functional communication to ensure alignment on validation objectives and deliverables.
• Identify, investigate, and resolve validation-related issues, providing technical solutions where needed.
• Report validation progress and outcomes to management, and support regulatory submissions with appropriate documentation.

Qualifications & Experience:

• Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Science, or a related technical discipline.
• Minimum of 5 years’ experience in the medical device or pharmaceutical industry.
• Proven experience designing and executing process and test method validations.
• In-depth understanding of ISO 13485 and 21 CFR 820 regulatory frameworks.
