Do You Want to Contribute to the Development of Next-Generation Vaccines? At Novavax, you'll work in an international organization focused on quality and technology. Here, you'll work with validation of equipment and systems crucial for manufacturing and quality control of the company's innovative vaccines.
About the Role
As a Validation Engineer at Novavax AB, you'll play a critical role in ensuring that the company's equipment, systems, and processes meet GMP requirements and internal quality standards. You will work on planning, executing, and documenting validation and qualification activities for equipment with and without software – within manufacturing and laboratory environments.
The role suits someone with some experience in validation within a GxP-regulated environment who wants to deepen their expertise in the field, particularly focusing on computerized systems (CSV) and data integrity.
You'll be part of the Validation Group within Operations and collaborate closely with colleagues in QA, QC, and research and development laboratories. In an organization undergoing development, you'll have the opportunity to contribute your structure, curiosity, and quality focus – and grow together with the team.
Responsibilities:
• Plan and lead validation and qualification activities for equipment, systems, and processes.
• Write and review validation documentation such as risk assessments, requirement specifications, plans, protocols, and reports.
• Collaborate in cross-functional projects and contribute to continuous improvements in the validation area.
• Support the development and updating of governing documents (SOPs, instructions, templates).
• Develop and eventually act as Subject Matter Expert (SME) in computerized system validation and general validation/qualification.
The position is located in Uppsala, with the majority of work performed from the office. You will report to the Validation Manager and become part of a small team of validation specialists.
Your Profile
We are seeking candidates with experience in validation within a GxP-regulated environment who want to continue developing in the field. You have a technical interest and are curious about computerized systems and how they can contribute to safe pharmaceutical products.
You thrive in an environment where development and change are a natural part of daily life, and you contribute with commitment, accuracy, and a positive collaborative spirit. You work systematically, communicate clearly, and have an eye for detail – qualities that help you deliver quality in everything you do.
Qualifications:
• University degree in engineering, natural sciences, or equivalent.
• Experience working in pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, or other GxP-regulated environments.
• Experience planning, executing, and documenting validation.
• Basic knowledge and interest in computerized system (CSV) quality assurance and data integrity.
• Experience with LEAN principles or improvement projects is meritorious.
• Very good documentation and communication skills in Swedish and English are required.
