Partner with R&D, Product Development, and Industrial Design to translate consumer needs, dermatological insights, and intended-use requirements into clear, measurable quality and reliability specifications

Collaborate with internal labs and third-party testing partners to ensure protocols reflect skincare-specific risks (e.g., heat, light, vibration, cleansing agents, wet environments)
Lead the development of validation strategies (e.g., DV/PV test plans) that ensure consumer-ready quality at launch
Act as the quality representative in cross-functional program teams, providing guidance on requirements, risk, testing readiness, and quality gate approvals
