EXPERIENCE
Unilife Medical Solutions, York, PA 04/2013 - Present
Lead QC Laboratory Technician
. Coordinate the QC lab with production to ensure components and
materials are tested and ready for builds. Make priorities for the
QC lab and make sure everyone stays on tasks.
. Review all paperwork and batch records generated for quality
control testing. All testing and procedures follow cGMP. Deal with
material specifications and evaluation using ANSI Z1.4 and Z1.9.
. Issue production inspected incoming materials for new job orders
. Responsible for initiating NCRs (Non-Conforming Reports) and
following proper procedures for the corrective actions
. Perform line clearance and inspection of our clean rooms
. Analyze components, sub-assemblies, and finished goods for our
prefilled syringe using instrumentation such as Zwick/Roell, RAM
Optical, FT-IR (Fourier Transform Infrared), PTI VeriPac, and a
Particulate counter
. Perform design verification and Gauge R&R testing for our
prefilled syringes in product development
. Release all incoming materials, semi-finished goods, and finished
goods utilizing SAP
. Microbiology tasks include performing EM (Environmental Monitoring)
and water sampling in our clean rooms along with Endotoxin testing.
Assays are performed with new products for validation and our daily
water samples. Bioburden/TMC (Total Microbial Count) is performed
as well with our water samples from the clean room using a
Milliflex system in a biological safety cabinet
