Program Manager

About Neuro Bionics

Neuro Bionics, a neurotech MIT spinoff, is developing implantable devices that interface with the human body to treat neurological conditions. Leveraging a decade of innovation, we have engineered a novel neural interface using microscale, flexible, bioelectronic fibers that seamlessly integrate with the human body. Each fiber encompasses electrical, chemical, and optical capabilities—enabling sensing and modulation of the biological environment. By making neural interfacing minimally invasive, we aim to broaden access to neuromodulation therapies and improve the lives of millions of patients.

Neuro Bionics is hiring a Program Manager to run the integrated development program—turning technical progress into predictable milestone delivery. You will own the integrated plan, execution cadence, dependencies, risks, and resourcing view that keep R&D, Quality, Manufacturing, Clinical, and external partners aligned and moving.

This is a high-trust role for someone who thrives in ambiguity, brings structure without bureaucracy, and enables a fast team to execute with fewer surprises.

This is not a role that creates process for process’ sake. We value lightweight systems that improve speed and clarity.

Location: Cambridge/Somerville, MA (hybrid possible depending on fit and program needs).

What you’ll do - Duties and responsibilities

• Build and maintain an integrated development plan: work streams, milestones, owners, dependencies, and critical path.

• Establish execution cadence: weekly program review, risk review, decision logs, and action tracking.

• Define milestone “definitions of done” with functional leads and ensure evidence is captured.

• Drive tradeoffs and decisioning: scope, sequencing, and resourcing to protect critical path.

• Run risk/issue management: identify risks early, assign owners, drive mitigations, and elevate clearly.

• Coordinate external partners/vendors: align SOW deliverables to internal milestones and track execution.

• Provide lightweight reporting to leadership: progress, risks, constraints, and upcoming decisions.

Required:

• 2–5+ years in technical program management (life sciences, healthcare hardware, medical devices, or complex R&D programs in regulated environment).

• Demonstrated experience coordinating cross-functional development (R&D + quality/manufacturing and external partners).

• Strong planning and execution rigor:
  dependencies, critical path, risk tracking, follow-through, escalation.

• Excellent communication: can synthesize, drive alignment, and move decisions forward without drama.

• Comfortable building structure in tools (Notion/Smartsheet/others + Gantt-style timelines).

Preferred:

• Startup experience or high-ambiguity environments.

• Familiarity with stage-appropriate med-device development processes (design controls, verification/validation concepts).

• Experience coordinating preclinical/clinical readiness activities and vendor/test lab execution.
