  • Coordinate event triage and immediate actions, including containment and escalation, and support batch disposition decisions with Operations, Engineering, QC, and QA.
  • Collect, organize, and analyze manufacturing, engineering, and laboratory evidence (e.g., batch records, equipment/maintenance logs, MES/SCADA/historian data, calibrations, environmental monitoring, and test results) to establish event sequence and contributing factors.
  • Facilitate cross-functional root cause analysis using structured tools (e.g., 5-Why, fishbone, fault tree as applicable) and document technically sound, compliant conclusions and product impact assessments.
  • Define, document, and track CAPAs (correction/corrective/preventive actions) with appropriate due dates and effectiveness checks; support on-the-floor verification and implementation to prevent recurrence.
  • Prepare clear, complete investigation/CAPA records; support trending and continuous improvement; and participate in audit/inspection readiness by providing evidence packages and responses (while maintaining required training and safe work practices).

Any equivalent combination of education, training and/or experience that fulfills the requirements of the position will be considered.
 
Education/Certification/Experience:
 
  • Master’s or Ph.D. degree in a scientific or engineering discipline with relevant experience supporting investigations within pharmaceutical manufacturing, engineering, and/or QC laboratories; oral solid dosage (OSD) experience preferred.
  • Experience using electronic quality systems and manufacturing/laboratory data systems (e.g., deviation/CAPA systems, MES, LIMS, historian/trending tools, AI tools) to support investigations, trending, and effectiveness monitoring preferred
 
Skills/Knowledge/Abilities:
 
  • OSD manufacturing and complex process/equipment knowledge sufficient to investigate events across Production, Engineering, and QC (e.g., blending, granulation, compression, coating, encapsulation, and supporting utilities).
  • Strong Technical writing and documentation skills (deviations/nonconformances, OOS/OOT as applicable, product impact assessments, CAPA, and effectiveness checks) using Good Documentation Practices (GDP).
  • Knowledge of cGMP, pharmaceutical quality systems, and data integrity expectations applicable to investigations, CAPA, and inspection readiness.
  • Analytical and problem-solving capability using structured root cause analysis tools (e.g., 5-Why, fishbone, fault tree) to separate symptoms from true root causes.
  • Ability to interpret and trend manufacturing/equipment/lab data using available systems and tools (e.g., eQMS, MES, LIMS, historian/trending tools, Excel/dashboards) to support risk-based decisions.
  • Effective cross-functional facilitation and communication skills, including managing multiple investigations, aligning stakeholders, and clearly presenting complex technical information.
 
Problem Solving:
 
  • Proactively works on problems of a moderate to complex scope where evaluation of contributing factors requires the analysis of situations or data and an in-depth knowledge and evaluation of various known and unknown factors.
