Responsibilities and independence increase progressively by grade level.

• You exercise independent judgment to address moderately complex quality and compliance challenges, interpret and apply relevant guidance with minimal supervision, prioritize competing tasks effectively, and elevate nuanced issues requiring deeper contextual or domain‑specific insight.

• You demonstrate excellent strategic agility—including problem‑solving and critical‑thinking skills, and agility that extends beyond your technical domain.
• You demonstrate respect for cultural differences when interacting with colleagues in the global workplace.
• You have excellent verbal and written communication skills, specifically in the areas of presentation and writing, with the ability to explain complex technical concepts in clear language.

Preferred:

• Experience working with digital health products or AI/ML‑related workflows.
