Why this role matters:

As a Quality Engineer II, you will help protect product quality and patient safety across Aesculap's broad medical device portfolio. In this on-site role, you will lead investigations, support validation and calibration activities, identify quality trends, and strengthen compliant distribution and operational processes in a highly regulated environment.

How you will make an impact:

• Train and educate associates on validation and compliance concepts, maintain the validation management program, and author and oversee execution of IQ, OQ, and PQ protocols and final reports in accordance with the Validation Master Plan and Matrix.

• Create clear, compliant quality documentation, including protocols, reports, work instructions, SOPs, quality plans, deviations, NCRs, set lists, product specifications, and set inspection plans for new and existing products.

• Lead CAPA, FMEA, risk analysis, and root-cause analysis activities; implement risk-management principles in accordance with ISO 14971; manage the St. Louis NCR process; and serve as the SME for NCRs during supplier, FDA, notified-body, and third-party inspections.

• Analyze, interpret, and present manufacturing, quality-control, and quality-metric data; serve as the SME for quality SAP functionality, QC inspection activities, and the development of acceptable quality limits.

• Review and approve drawings, calculations, specifications, rework documentation, process deviations, and other quality records while ensuring compliance with applicable ISO standards, FDA regulations, and the Quality Manual.

• Support process and equipment improvements across Aesculap facilities, including management of calibration and preventive-maintenance programs for quality instrumentation and equipment, and perform internal or supplier audits as needed.

What sets you up for success:

• Bachelor's degree in engineering, quality, life sciences, or a related field required.

• Five years+ of related quality experience in a regulated medical device, pharmaceutical, or biotechnology environment.

• Sound judgment, problem-solving ability, adaptability, and communication skills to work effectively across functions with general supervision.

• Regular and predictable attendance, occasional business travel, and the ability to work a non-standard schedule when needed.
