Coordinate and/or perform calibration and verification of laboratory equipment (balances, pH meters, viscometers, thermometers, etc.), maintain calibration records, and ensure equipment is labeled and within calibration status.
Assist with investigations, deviations, OOS/OOT results, and implementation of CAPAs related to laboratory testing or material quality.
Support method transfer, method validation/verification, and implementation of new test procedures as needed.
Participate in training of new QC staff on test methods, documentation practices, and GMP expectations.
Promote a strong quality culture, reporting any observed non-conformities and suggesting improvements to procedures and systems.
May be assigned other duties or tasks as needed or directed by management.

1–3 years of experience in a QC laboratory (pharmaceutical, cosmetics, or related regulated industry preferred).
Working knowledge of wet chemistry techniques and common lab instruments (pH meter, balance, viscometer, titrator, spectrophotometer, etc.).
Familiarity with GMP, data integrity principles, and documentation practices.
Strong attention to detail, good organizational skills, and ability to manage multiple priorities.
