• Collaborate with cross-functional teams including R&D, Quality, Manufacturing, Regulatory, and Supply Chain.
• Track and report progress to stakeholders and leadership, ensuring alignment and transparency.
• Improve project management tools, templates, and PMO governance practices.
• Manage and resolve team performance issues, workflow bottlenecks, and task prioritization.
• Review deliverables, perform quality spot-checks, and ensure compliance with regulatory standards.
• Own the project lifecycle using formal project management methodologies from initiation to closure.

• Bachelor's degree in Engineering (required).
• 6–8+ years of relevant project management experience.
• Strong background in the medical device industry, preferably with experience in design transfer and manufacturing operations.
• PMP or equivalent project management certification (preferred).
• Experience working with Change Orders (ECOs, ECRs) and document control systems.
• Exceptional communication, leadership, and organizational skills.
• Proficiency in risk management, stakeholder alignment, and resource planning.
• Ability to lead cross-functional teams with minimal supervision.
• Analytical thinking, sound judgment, and decision-making capability.

• This role is onsite in Irvine, CA.
• Only candidates with medical device hardware experience will be considered.
• No software-only PMs or generalist PMs.
