Position Overview The Associate Director, Bioinformatics Quality Engineering is responsible for leading the development and maintenance of software design controls associated with the development of medical device software for IVD, IUO and LDT products, and for successfully taking these products through verification and validation processes to ensure quality and compliance. This role will provide leadership to a team of Bioinformatics Quality and Systems Engineers by working to define clear and realistic goals and developing a general management view of the project. The position will participate in timeline development and in planning for new assignments/projects. Working in a team setting, this role will contribute to the implementation of new software solutions that process and interpret Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) data for the purpose of cancer diagnostics. As a subject matter expert, this position will guide development teams through software requirements for new products and manage changes to existing software to ensure compliance for IVD, IUO and LDT products. This position will be responsible for supporting software queries in audits. Working in a team setting, this role will be involved in investigating new technologies to improve and streamline the software development, testing and documentation processes. This role requires a strong focus on quality and attention to detail, and places high value on peer review, software testing and documentation. This position will join a geographically distributed team of highly motivated bioinformatics engineers at the forefront of cancer diagnostics and will be required to collaborate closely with scientists, IT and others creating these solutions. This position may be remote. Essential Duties Include, but are not limited to, the following: Lead the verification and validation efforts across multiple software solutions used in medical devices and LDT products. Oversee the translation of user and software requirements into executable software verification and validation protocols.
