Your Role:

The Quality Control Scientist position is responsible for providing technical and analytical leadership to the Quality Control department at MilliporeSigma.

Other responsibilities may include initiation and review of deviations, OOS/OOT's, change controls, and CAPA's. Additionally, participation in process improvement initiatives, working in a team environment, maintaining a clean and safe work area, and supporting the department in maintaining the laboratory in an audit ready state are other duties.
