Assistant, Manufacturing Injectables

Understand basket/loading layouts, spray arm motion, and filter housings.

Observe FAT demos of wash steps, detergents dosing, and HMI sequences.

Review utilities (DI/WFI, compressed air) and basic interlocks.

Verify nozzle layout, pump curves, filtration stages, and utilities.

Review interlocks/alarms; confirm safety and emergency stop logic.

Assess drainage paths and potential dead legs.

Support IQ/OQ: execute repeated wash cycles, sampling, and visual checks.

Document cycle parameters and assist in reproducibility verification.

Support PQ by preparing standardized loads and recording results.

Lead OQ: pressure/flow checks, sensor calibration, and cycle tuning.

Troubleshoot blocked nozzles, cavitation, and chemical dosing variability.

Support PQ reproducibility and finalize validated parameters.

Load parts as per pattern; verify chemical dosing and spray arm rotation.

Operate cycles; monitor pressures/temperatures; handle alarms.

Clean machine surfaces and maintain GDP-compliant records.

Perform PM on pumps, seals, filters; manage spares and change parts.
