Responsibilities

• Customer-Centric Quality Leadership
• Analyze consumer complaints, device returns, skin-interaction feedback, clinical testing outcomes, and post-market surveillance data to identify root causes and drive both technical and user-experience corrective actions.
• Act as the voice of the consumer and patient in product quality forums, ensuring clinical insights, feedback, and user safety concerns lead to meaningful device improvements.
• Lead structured problem-solving
• Product Development Support
• Serve as the NPD Quality lead for device programs, providing input into design controls, safety assessments, human factors reviews, and documentation from early concept through verification, validation, and launch.

• Ensure biocompatibility considerations, labeling requirements, and claims substantiation are integrated into the product development lifecycle.
• Process & Supplier Quality Integration
• Collaborate with suppliers on root cause investigations and ensure timely and compliant closure of corrective and preventive actions (CAPAs) - especially for contact materials, energy-based components, and precision hardware elements .
• Influence manufacturing readiness by identifying device-specific failure modes (e.g., thermal drift, optical degradation, vibration consistency, firmware/hardware interaction issues) and recommending risk-reducing controls.
• Support production transfer activities by ensuring alignment between design intent, process capability, and device quality requirements.
• Post-Launch & Lifecycle Quality Management
• Monitor macro-level product performance trends, consumer sentiment, and post-market surveillance indicators to identify early warning signals for skincare-specific risks (e.g., irritation reports, thermal anomalies, inconsistent treatment outcomes).
• Drive iterative improvements to both hardware and user-experience elements post-launch, collaborating with Engineering, Design, and Quality partners.
• Own product health dashboards and deliver actionable insights to senior leadership - emphasizing device safety, reliability, and real-world efficacy.
• Cross-Functional Influence & Continuous Improvement
