Summary
Test & Validation Engineering ensures GMP-regulated equipment, systems, processes, and computerized systems are qualified and validated to confirm they perform within specified requirements and meet regulatory expectations (FDA 21 CFR Part 11, GAMP, ALCOA++). Distinct from broader systems-design or product-architecture focuses, this focus centers on the IQ/OQ/PQ qualification lifecycle, validation master planning, cleaning/process validation, deviation handling, and audit-ready documentation traceability — proving fitness for intended use rather than designing the product itself.
