• Guides software development teams in the creation and maintenance of Design and Development Files (DDFs), including software development plans, verification and validation plans, software requirements specifications, architecture and design documents, design and code reviews, Risk Management Files (RMF), test protocols and reports, and traceability matrices. 

• Supports integration of ISO 14971 risk management, IEC 62366 usability engineering, and FDA cybersecurity guidance into SDLC processes, ensuring a cohesive and compliant approach to product safety, security, and usability across the development lifecycle.

• Supports post-market cybersecurity surveillance activities for SaMD and LLM-enabled products, including monitoring for emerging threats, coordinating vulnerability disclosures, and assessing the impact of security findings on regulated product safety and performance.

• Provides CAPA, complaints, audit, and QMS support related to software and cybersecurity incidents, driving root cause analysis and effective corrective actions across product teams.

Minimum Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Informatics, Biomedical Engineering, or a related technical field; or equivalent practical experience with 5+ years in software quality engineering within the FDA QMSR / ISO 13485 medical device industry, with primary focus on Software as a Medical Device (SaMD).

• Proven expertise in medical device cybersecurity, including working knowledge of FDA premarket and postmarket cybersecurity guidance and applicable standards (e.g., AAMI TIR57).

• Demonstrated experience applying IEC 62304 (Medical Device Software Lifecycle Processes), ISO 14971 (Risk Management), IEC 62366 (Usability Engineering), and AAMI TIR57 within a regulated software development environment.

• Experience collaborating directly with software development and security teams, with proficiency in Google Workspace, Jira, GitHub, and document control systems to operationalize quality and cybersecurity requirements within engineering workflows.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with AI/ML-enabled medical device products, including familiarity with FDA AI/ML SaMD guidance, predetermined change control plans (PCCP), and post-market performance monitoring for generative AI applications; experience using generative AI tools (e.g., Gemini, Claude, ChatGPT) to enhance quality and compliance workflows is a plus.

• Experience with digital health, Health IT, mobile medical applications, or consumer health products, with working knowledge of scalable QMS and SDLC approaches across wellness, low-risk, and high-risk software classifications.

• Demonstrated ability to implement and continuously improve Software QMS and secure SDLC processes using agile/scrum methodologies, best-practice tooling, and iterative development frameworks in a fast-paced, innovative environment.

• Relevant cybersecurity certification (e.g., AAMI Cybersecurity Certificate, CISSP, or equivalent) and/or quality certification (e.g., ASQ CQE); or advanced degree in a related technical or biomedical field.

• Excellent cross-functional communication, organizational, and leadership skills, with a proven ability to drive quality and cybersecurity initiatives with minimal supervision across engineering, security, and product teams.
