DESCRIPTION As Sr. Regulatory & Quality Systems Engineer, you are the strategic lead for quip's product integrity — the person who ensures every product we ship is safe, compliant, and defensible, from first regulatory filing through post-market surveillance. You'll own our regulatory strategy across current and future markets, govern our contract manufacturers' quality systems, and act as the sign-off authority in new product development.
This role suits someone who thinks in systems and audit trails as naturally as they think in root causes, and who's ready to build (not just maintain) quip's regulatory and quality infrastructure as we expand into new categories and markets. You will report into the Hardware team but also have accountability into the Consumables Lead day-to-day. This role is full time on-site Monday–Thursday in our DUMBO, Brooklyn design studio, with Fridays remote.
Base Salary: $150k-$165K This range represents anticipated base salary range for this position, in addition to competitive benefits and equity (as applicable).
