Summary
Quality engineering and computer system validation for integrated robotic laboratory automation in regulated life-sciences (GxP) environments. Distinct from general software QA in its grounding in GMP/GAMP 5 computer system validation, IQ/OQ/PQ qualification, and hardware-in-the-loop testing of fully integrated robotic workcells (liquid handlers, vision systems, PLCs); distinct from manufacturing/process QA in its focus on the automation software stack, test automation frameworks, and CI/CD-integrated quality gates across the robotics codebase. Spans configuration and unit testing of automation software through end-to-end QA ecosystem ownership and regulatory inspection leadership.
