About this role
Verista is seeking a Senior Validation Engineer with substantial CSV expertise to lead computerized system validation projects for life sciences clients operating in regulated environments. You'll own validation activities from design through execution—developing validation strategies, authoring and reviewing GxP deliverables, conducting impact and risk assessments, and independently verifying test results against specifications. The role requires you to communicate technical requirements across organizational levels, support change management and deviation investigations, and mentor junior team members while potentially managing multiple client projects simultaneously.
This position demands a minimum of four to six years of hands-on CSV validation experience in pharmaceutical, biotech, or medical device settings, with demonstrated proficiency in cGMP regulations, 21 CFR Part 11, EU Annex 11, and GAMP 5 frameworks. You'll need strong technical knowledge of system design and configuration, familiarity with business processes across R&D through commercialization, and practical experience with lab systems such as LIMS or chromatography software. Advanced skills in Microsoft Office and intermediate Project management capabilities are expected, along with the judgment and problem-solving ability to work independently and set your own priorities.
The role is full-time and in-office in Indianapolis, with a salary range of $70,491 to $110,000. Verista offers competitive benefits including medical, dental, and vision coverage, 401(k) matching, paid time off with rollover options, tuition reimbursement, and paid parental leave, alongside a culture emphasizing professional growth and team collaboration within a 500-person organization serving major life sciences brands.
