• Evaluating AI-generated outputs against expert-defined rubrics, identifying errors, gaps, or unsafe interpretations and clearly documenting what a correct response looks like and why
• Testing AI capabilities against realistic and complex Quality scenarios, including ambiguous root causes, cross-functional failures, and regulatory edge cases drawn from real experience
• Contributing to Quality red-team testing by identifying challenging scenarios, complex CAPA chains, and multi-standard regulatory situations that stress-test the model
• Supporting the curation and validation of Quality regulatory reference materials to ensure accuracy, relevance, and traceability
• Participating in calibration sessions with other specialists to maintain consistency, resolve interpretation differences, and uphold high evaluation standards
