About the Opportunity
As Product Development Manager you will be responsible for establishing and leading end-to-end product development processes, starting with a novel embolization device and expanding to future interventional or therapeutic technologies. This is a hands-on role, requiring active technical and project leadership across all stages of development. You will develop the product development framework and ensure that all designs are safe, manufacturable, compliant, and aligned with regulatory requirements. A core responsibility is to implement and maintain robust design control procedures in accordance with ISO 13485 and 21 CFR Part 820. The role includes managing both internal and external design engineering resources, engaging with suppliers and test partners, and contributing to the strategic evolution of the product portfolio - delivering technically sound, commercially viable, and regulatory-compliant medical devices.
Key Responsibilities
- Serve as the product development process owner, establishing and maintaining procedures to ensure alignment with applicable regulations and standards.
- Maintain awareness of the competitive landscape, emerging technologies, and relevant clinical practices to inform and guide product design strategy.
- Plan, lead, and execute product development projects from concept through design transfer and commercialization.
- Ensure all design activities are conducted under robust design control procedures compliant with ISO 13485 and 21 CFR Part 820.
- Serve as the technical lead and ensure the safety, performance, and manufacturability of all design outputs.
- Lead the development of risk management documentation (e.g., Hazard Analysis, dFMEAs, pFMEas, etc.) by collaborating with cross-functional internal and external stakeholders.
- Lead / co-lead or actively participate in design reviews to ensure technical soundness, design control compliance, risk mitigation, and cross-functional alignment at all key development milestones.
- Act as the interface with external design and test partners, ensuring clear technical requirements and accountability.
- Coordinate cross-functional input from quality, regulatory, clinical, and commercial stakeholders to align development with business strategy.
- Prepare or review and approve high-quality design documentation, including Design History Files (DHF) and risk management documentation.
- Actively participate in the change process to ensure the proposed changes to the products are systemically and thoroughly analyzed and assessed.
- Apply systematic problem-solving methodologies in identifying, prioritizing, communicating, and resolving issues, with guidance/collaboration of the team.
- Ensure appropriate training on product development processes and design control requirements.
- Participate in or otherwise support regulatory submissions with required technical documentation.
- Lead or support technical investigations into product quality issues, including root cause analysis and implementation of corrective and preventive actions, in collaboration with Quality and other cross-functional teams.
- Support internal and external audits and act as a subject matter expert for design and risk files.
- Recommend improvements to quality systems, processes, and product risk mitigations, as appropriate.
- Perform other related duties as assigned to support the successful execution of product development and organizational objectives, as required.
