APPLICANTS MUST BE FLUENT IN ENGLISH AND SPANISH

Location: El Paso, TX (Onsite)

Term: 12-Month Contract (Potential for extension)

Pay: $40.54/hour W2


The Opportunity:

This is a hands-on, execution-focused role where you will take technical ownership of validating new equipment and processes for new product development. If you thrive in regulated environments (Medical Device/Pharma) and enjoy the "doing" side of engineering—from technical writing to floor execution—this is the role for you.


Day-to-Day Impact:

  • Validation Leadership: Lead the development and execution of IQ/OQ/PQ protocols and reports.
  • Equipment Oversight: Coordinate with suppliers for the manufacturing, delivery, and installation of custom equipment and tooling.
  • Documentation: Generate and approve SOPs, manufacturing procedures, and quality docs (batch records).
  • Process Optimization: Develop Test Method Validations, Gage R&R, and execute Process Characterizations (DOE).
  • Compliance: Ensure all work meets strict cGMP, ISO, and Quality Standards.


Must-Haves:

  • Experience: 4+ years of heavy validation experience within the Medical Device or Pharmaceutical industries (other highly regulated industries considered with strong IQ/OQ/PQ background).
  • Technical Expertise: Strong grasp of Risk Management (FMEA) and Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing (GD&T).
  • Documentation: Proven ability in technical writing for SOPs and validation protocols.
  • Education: Completed Bachelor’s Degree in Engineering.
  • Soft Skills: A "self-driver" mentality—you don’t wait for instructions; you identify what needs to be done and execute.
  • Bilingual (English/Spanish)
  • Software: Proficiency in Minitab, AutoCAD, or SolidWorks.
  • Certifications: Lean/Six Sigma, PMP, or Engineering Board Certification (EIT/PE).
  • Project Management: Experience with MS Project and capital project justification.


Interview Process:

  • We are looking to move quickly. Candidates should be prepared for a single-round onsite interview before a hiring decision is made.
