Quality Knowledge Management Automation Intern Overview:

Envision spending your summer working with energetic colleagues and inspirational leaders, all while gaining world-class experience in one of the most dynamic organizations in the pharmaceutical industry. This is a reality for AbbVie’s Interns.

The Pharmacovigilance, Patient Safety, Epidemiology, and Quality (PSEQ) organization works collaboratively and strategically with colleagues across the product lifecycle to identify, evaluate, understand, and communicate the safety profile and ensure quality standards of AbbVie products to protect patients worldwide.

This Intern will support the Medical Device Combo Product Research and Development Quality Assurance (MDCP RDQA) organization. This team works collaboratively and strategically with colleagues in R&D, Operations, Regulatory Affairs, Medical Safety and more to develop and launch new AbbVie medical device products to patients worldwide.

The role of MDCP R&D Quality is to ensure products are designed to be safe and effective, while also ensuring development efforts comply with applicable standards and regulations. The group is also focused on harmonizing quality processes across many diverse sites to ensure the needs of each site are represented in global procedures. We support the development of a variety of medical devices in the Therapeutic and Aesthetics space, including plastics, regenerative medicine, and electromechanical equipment.

Key responsibilities:

The intern will support a team of R&D QA development partners around the globe.
