You Are

We are seeking a hands-on Technical Project Manager to support complex engineering and project execution needs within a regulated MedTech environment. This role is for a doer; someone who drives work forward, gets things done, and can operate comfortably at the intersection of project management and engineering execution.

The Opportunity

  • Hybrid: In office/remote
  • Drive execution of engineering related projects, ensuring work progresses efficiently and deliverables are completed
  • Act as a hands-on project manager who actively contributes, not just coordinates
  • Work closely with engineering teams to understand and manage:
  • Finished goods and system level designs
  • Bills of Materials (BOMs) and potential modifications
  • Engineering drawings and how they are created and updated (e.g., AutoCAD)
  • Translate technical information into actionable project plans and outcomes
  • Support evolving project needs, including learning adjacent areas (e.g., labeling) as required

This position description identifies the responsibilities and tasks typically associated with the performance of the position. Other relevant essential functions may be required.

What You Need

  • 3-10 years of professional experience (as little as ~3 years acceptable for strong, trainable candidates)
  • Demonstrated project management experience in technical or engineering environments
  • Technical background with the ability to understand engineering concepts related to finished goods
  • Ability to comprehend BOM structures, engineering changes, and technical drawings (even if not directly creating them)
  • Proven track record of being a self-starter and execution focused doer
  • Preferred Qualifications:
  • Experience in MedTech or other regulated industries (strongly preferred but not mandatory)
  • Exposure to cardiology or medical device development environments
  • Comfort working across hardware, software, and integrated systems
