Biomedical quality engineer using data-driven surveillance to turn device performance insights into regulatory-ready actions.
What I'm looking for
I’m a Quality Engineer II specializing in data-driven post-market surveillance and performance trending in the medical device industry. I analyze large datasets to identify signals, monitor complaint rates, and assess product performance using statistical tools like p-charts, c-charts, and pivot-based analytics.
I bring a biomedical engineering background and a track record of reliable leadership across complaint handling, root cause analysis, CAPA activities, and risk assessments. From supporting design verification testing for 510(k) submissions and writing audit-ready test documentation to maintaining product performance lab support, I focus on clear, compliant documentation and cross-functional collaboration to drive actionable, regulatory decision-making.
