  • Maintain up-to-date knowledge of global medical device regulations, particularly ISO 11135, and apply emerging standards and methodologies in sterilization, ensuring the implementation of regulatory requirements related to the sterilization of medical devices.

Your profile:

  • Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Engineering (preferably Biomedical, Mechanical, Natural Sciences, Biotechnology or Chemistry).
