Pharmaceutical Quality Assurance Jobs

1409 open positions right now

Quality assurance and quality control (QA/QC) make sure manufacturing and lab processes meet regulatory GMP (Good Manufacturing Practice) standards. QC tests product samples and generates the underlying data; QA reviews and approves the batch records, deviations, and processes against that data before product is released.

Common titles include Quality Assurance Associate, QA Specialist, QC Analyst, Quality Manager, and Director of Quality. Hiring comes from pharma and biotech manufacturing sites, CDMOs, and testing labs.

Entry-level QA/QC associate roles typically require a life-sciences degree (chemistry, biology, or pharmacy); manager and director-level roles require several years of GMP compliance experience. Like manufacturing, most of this work is tied to a physical site and is on-site rather than remote -- documentation-heavy quality-systems roles are the main exception.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does a pharmaceutical QA job pay?

Pay varies by role and seniority. Where an employer discloses a salary range, it's shown directly on the individual job listing.

What degree do you need for a quality assurance job?

A life-sciences degree -- chemistry, biology, or pharmacy -- is standard for entry-level QA/QC roles.

Are quality assurance jobs remote?

Mostly no -- QA/QC work is tied to reviewing batches and testing product at a manufacturing or lab site. Documentation-heavy quality-systems roles are the main exception.

What's the difference between QA and QC?

QC (quality control) tests samples and generates the underlying data. QA (quality assurance) reviews and approves the processes and records against that data to confirm everything meets GMP standards before product is released.
