Quality Assurance Officer

Canopus Medical was founded in 2015 by a group of dermatologists and entrepreneurs, with the passion to develop and manufacture innovative and caring skin care products and medical devices. Our three main areas are:
Cosmetic skin care development of own brightening kit for professional use.
Development and manufacturing of 3 dermal fillers (medical device Class III).
Development and manufacturing of a single dose visco-supplementation gel product for knee osteoarthritis (medical device Class III).

Besides developing and commercializing our own products, we also provide contract manufacturing services of many known cosmetic brands in Scandinavia. Our current facilities at the Ideon Science Park in Lund host a pilot scale production plant which is already certified to ISO 22716 (GMP for cosmetic products). We have 9 employees, and we cooperate with several consulting partners. Canopus Medical is planning to scale up the manufacturing capacity during 2023, preparing for the launch of our products and structuring the new organization to match the coming “product in the market” stage. Our current team is multi-cultured, motivated, structured and hard working.
