• Develop, review, and approve validation documentation including IQ, OQ, and PQ with clear alignment to lab systems and supporting IT infrastructure.

• Validate laboratory systems such as LIMS, CDS, ELN, and other GxP-relevant applications, ensuring compliance with regulatory requirements.

• Support system installation, configuration, and qualification activities across lab environments, including instrument software and connected systems.

• Perform risk assessments aligned to lab system architecture, data integrity, and system interfaces.

• Work closely with IT teams on system builds, upgrades, patching, and deployments impacting lab systems to ensure validated state is maintained.

• Troubleshoot validation and system issues related to lab IT environments, including instrument connectivity, software configurations, network issues, and data flows.

• Support integration and validation of interconnected lab systems, including interfaces between instruments, applications, and enterprise systems.

• Ensure compliance with FDA 21 CFR Part 11, EU Annex 11, and GAMP 5, with a strong focus on data integrity and electronic records within lab systems.

• Maintain validation lifecycle activities including periodic reviews, revalidation, and change control for lab systems.

• Act as SME during audits and inspections, specifically in relation to lab systems validation and data integrity.

• Collaborate with QA, Lab Operations, IT, and Engineering teams to ensure systems are validated in line with project timelines.

• Support and oversee change control activities for lab IT systems, ensuring all updates and changes are assessed and remain compliant.

• Develop and maintain validation documentation including validation plans, traceability matrices, and summary reports.

Requirements:

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, Engineering, or a related technical discipline.

• 3–5+ years of experience in Computer Systems Validation with a focus on IT Systems.

• Experience working in regulated environments such as pharmaceutical, biotech, or medical devices.

• Hands-on experience with laboratory systems such as LIMS, CDS, ELN, or similar platforms would be an advantage.

• Experience with system configuration, upgrades, patching, and troubleshooting.

• Experience with scripting, automation, or system administration is an advantage.
