cGMP Computer System Validation Specialist

You keep the Stockpile's systems in a validated state under cGMP and 21 CFR Part 11, from validation plans and IQ, OQ and PQ through change control and periodic review, so that electronic records and signatures stand up to inspection. Full time, W-2, based in Fairfax, Virginia with some telework, starting October 2026.

Why this job exists

SPN Solutions has won a new contract to operate and modernize the information systems behind the Strategic National Stockpile, part of HHS's Administration for Strategic Preparedness and Response (ASPR). The Stockpile holds the nation's reserve of medicines and medical supplies for public health emergencies. When a hurricane, an outbreak or another emergency calls for those supplies, the systems this team runs are how the country knows what it has, where it is and how fast it can move. The platform is Oracle E-Business Suite, and the program is moving it to Oracle Cloud while raising the quality of the inventory data and tightening the integration with the warehouse partners that hold the stock. You would join at the start, on a new team, with real work to own from the first week.

Why people take this job

• A mission you can explain at the dinner table: the nation's emergency medical supplies
• Hybrid in Fairfax, Virginia with some telework, sensible core hours and federal holidays off
• A modern Oracle stack and a real cloud migration, not a maintenance backwater
• A new team being built now: early hires shape how the work is done and grow with it
• Certifications and training paid for, with time set aside to earn them
• A company small enough that the people who run it know your name and answer your messages

What you will do

• Own computer system validation for the legacy and cloud systems: validation master plan, risk assessments, IQ, OQ and PQ protocols and reports, traceability matrices, periodic reviews.
• Assess every change and patch for validation impact; run or oversee revalidation; keep the validated state documented.
• Maintain 21 CFR Part 11 controls: electronic records, electronic signatures, audit trails, access.
• Write and maintain cGMP procedures and training for the team; support inspections and audits with evidence.
• Work with QA, the release manager and the DBAs so validation is part of the release path, not an afterthought.

What you need

• 5 or more years of computer system validation in a cGMP or otherwise FDA-regulated environment, with hands-on IQ, OQ and PQ.
• Working knowledge of 21 CFR Part 11, GAMP 5 and risk-based validation.
• Experience validating an ERP or inventory system.
• Precise technical writing.
• U.S. citizenship and the ability to obtain an HHS Tier 2 public trust determination.

What sets a candidate apart

• Oracle E-Business Suite validation.
• Pharmaceutical or medical device supply chain.
• Cloud-hosted validated systems.
• ASQ or ISPE credentials.
