Traferox Technologies Inc.

We are hiring a Sterile Manufacturing Equipment Maintenance & Validation Engineer to own hands-on technical support for aseptic fill-finish operations (bottle filling and IV bag filling) and to lead execution of cleanroom routine maintenance and validation/requalification activities. You will drive equipment reliability, reduce downtime, and maintain a strong state of control in a regulated environment.

What you will do:

Aseptic processing equipment ownership

• Troubleshoot, repair, and maintain complex aseptic filling equipment for bottles and IV bags (mechanical, electrical, pneumatic, instrumentation, and controls).
• Diagnose faults using drawings/schematics, OEM documentation, alarms, trending, and systematic root-cause methods.
• Own PM strategy and execution: PM plans, job plans, lubrication/inspection standards, calibration coordination, and critical spares.
• Lead reliability improvements: repeat-failure elimination, downtime tracking, and corrective action effectiveness checks.
• Coordinate OEM/vendor service and support: scope work, supervise execution, and verify outcomes.

Cleanroom maintenance and validation/requalification

• Execute and maintain the site plan for cleanroom routine maintenance and periodic requalification activities in support of aseptic operations.
• Lead qualification/validation deliverables tied to equipment and controlled environments (IQ/OQ/PQ execution support, protocols, reports, and traceable evidence).
• Support change control impact assessments for equipment, components, recipes/settings, and maintenance changes.
• Coordinate and support cleanroom certification activities (e.g., HEPA integrity testing, airflow visualization, particle mapping, pressure differential verification) and maintain documentation packages.

Quality and compliance

• Support deviations, investigations, and CAPAs with strong root-cause analysis and clear technical documentation.
• Update and create SOPs/work instructions for maintenance, setup checks, and controlled-environment activities.
• Support internal and external audits/inspections by providing objective evidence and technical explanations.

• 5+ years in a regulated manufacturing environment (pharma/biotech/medical device preferred), supporting complex production equipment.
• Demonstrated hands-on troubleshooting across mechanical, electrical, and controls domains.
• Experience executing qualification/validation work (not only reviewing), including protocol execution and report writing.
• Strong documentation practices and comfort working under GMP expectations.
• Willingness to work in cleanrooms and support planned shutdown windows; ability to support on-call or off-shift work as needed.

Preferred qualifications:

• Experience in aseptic fill-finish equipment (bottle filling, IV bag filling, sterile transfer systems, RABS/isolators).
• Exposure to PLC/HMI troubleshooting, instrumentation, and sensor tuning.
• Experience coordinating cleanroom certification providers and interpreting results/trends.

What success looks like:

• Reduced unplanned downtime and repeat failures on aseptic filling lines.
• Clear, practical PM system with high schedule compliance and effective spare parts strategy.
• Cleanroom and equipment qualification activities executed on time with complete, audit-ready documentation.
• Fast, structured response to issues with strong root-cause and durable fixes.
