About Sofiane

I am a graduate engineer in production management, with over fifteen years of experience in quality and verification/validation, primarily in the automotive and medical device sectors.

I began my career at Valeo, where I held project quality engineer positions. There, I managed product development from the consultation phase to production launch, ensuring requirements definition, risk analysis, control plan development, as well as qualification of supplier components, special processes, and the final product. I also conducted numerous internal audits, participated in supplier audits, and managed associated corrective action plans.

My three years of experience at an industrial site in Ireland allowed me to strengthen my proficiency in professional English.

Subsequently, I joined Microport CRM in the medical sector, where I was responsible for verification and validation activities. I designed qualification plans based on regulatory and product requirements, developed new testing methods, designed and qualified test benches, and supervised testing campaigns. I was also responsible for drafting technical reports for regulatory submissions to bodies such as GMED, TÜV, FDA, and PMDA.

I have worked in demanding environments governed by standards such as ISO 13485, ISO 14708, ISO 11607, and ISO/TS 16949. I am recognized for my rigor, attention to detail, ability to adapt quickly, and effective management of cross-functional projects.

Today, as a freelancer, I am seeking a mission where I can leverage my expertise in quality, validation, and project management to support your developments, while respecting technical and regulatory requirements. I am available immediately.
