Senior Quality Engineer
epm scientificPensacola (FL)
About the role
A global life sciences manufacturer is hiring a Senior Quality Engineer to join its Quality Assurance function in Pensacola, Florida. This is an on-site role within an established quality engineering group, reporting into the Quality Engineering Manager.
The business supports customers working across fundamental biological research, vaccine development, new medicines, and cell and gene therapies - so the products you help release have a direct downstream impact on patients.
The Role:
You’ll support manufacturing quality by monitoring production performance, analysing quality data, leading root cause investigations, and implementing corrective actions that keep product within specification and in line with regulatory requirements. The role sits at the centre of the site, partnering with Operations, Manufacturing Engineering, Regulatory, Supply Chain, and site leadership to reduce quality risk and drive continuous improvement.
What you’ll be doing:
Analysing quality and production data to identify trends, track KPIs, and deliver data-driven improvements that reduce defects and improve efficiency using lean principles
Leading root cause investigations using structured problem-solving methodologies (CAPA, 8D, Fishbone, 5 Whys) to resolve issues and prevent recurrence
Monitoring shop floor processes for compliance with specifications, control plans, and standard work instructions
Participating in internal audits and layered process audits (LPA), supporting external and customer audits, and maintaining accurate quality documentation (SOPs, inspection records)
Acting as the primary quality liaison between Manufacturing, Engineering, Supply Chain, and customers
What we’re looking for:
Bachelor’s degree in engineering, science, or a related technical discipline (preferred)
5+ years in Quality Engineering or Quality Systems within a regulated manufacturing environment - life sciences, biotech, pharmaceutical, medical device, or comparable regulated industry
A detail‑oriented, analytical problem solver with genuine interest in manufacturing quality and continuous improvement
Exposure to any of the following is welcomed: contamination control, sterility assurance, SPC, Lean methodologies, or material science within a regulated environment
Comfortable in a fast‑paced production environment working cross‑functionally
Nice to have: Familiarity with global regulatory expectations (FDA, ISO, GMP)
Green Belt, CQE, Six Sigma, or similar continuous improvement certification

Before you apply
Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.
Your profile is current
It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.
Two examples you can talk through
Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.
A number in mind
What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.
Your notice period
Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.
Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
