Job description

About Ably Medical

Ably Medical develops LYNG, a contactless monitoring mat placed under the mattress in hospitals, nursing homes or home care. Our focus is on giving care teams useful insight while keeping everyday care simple. We bring together medical device engineering, software and clinical understanding to support a more preventive approach to healthcare.

The Role

This is a role for someone who enjoys both the technical detail and the bigger picture. You will lead multidisciplinary medical device development across hardware, embedded software, cloud services and analytics — and help improve how R&D projects at Ably Medical are delivered.

In this senior, hands-on role, you will turn approved product requirements into realistic plans, resolve technical trade-offs and integration challenges, and bring internal engineers, external partners and AI agents together around delivery. Reporting to the CEO and working closely with the management team, you will give the organization a clear view of progress, risks and decisions needed.

Your Responsibilities

• Lead project scope, milestones, resources, budget, dependencies and technical risks.
• Oversight of system architecture, multidisciplinary integration and traceability from requirements to test evidence.
• Manage design control, risk management, design reviews, engineering changes and V&V.
• Deliver engineering evidence for MDR CE marking in close collaboration with QARA.
• Lead design transfer with Operations covering manufacturing documentation, test methods, software releases and readiness acceptance.
• Lead and coordinate developers across geographical sites, aligning the team around shared priorities, a common technical direction and delivery goals. Manage outsourced development partners through clear work packages, controlled interfaces and technical acceptance.
• Orchestrate multiple AI agents across development, documentation, testing and analysis, with clear tasks, review points and acceptance criteria, so that agent output meets the same quality and traceability standards as the rest of the project.
• Apply and help improve AI-assisted ways of working in your projects, ensuring agent use is controlled, documented and compliant with the Ably QMS, ISO 13485 and cybersecurity requirements.
• Coordinate R&D capacity, resolve delivery constraints and report progress and resource needs to the CEO and management team.

Why Join Ably Medical?

You will join at an early stage, as LYNG moves from clinical pilots toward commercial scale, and have direct influence on both the product and the way we develop it. The role combines technical leadership with the opportunity to influence how R&D delivers, working closely with the management team and across engineering, quality, clinical and manufacturing. We are a small, dedicated team with a flat, Scandinavian structure, where your opinions are heard and good ideas come from everyone.

Required Experience and Skills

You don't need to tick every box below. Gaps in one area may be offset by broader experience in other areas.

• 5+ years of experience in technical project management of multidisciplinary product development, preferably within medical devices.
• Strong technical project management covering scope, schedule, budget, resources, risks and outsourced partners, with a proven track record of delivering complete multidisciplinary projects on time, within budget and to the required quality.
• Documented successful completion of ISO 13485-governed development projects for physical products with integrated software, including V&V and design transfer.
• Hands‑on CE marking experience under EU MDR 2017/745, including technical documentation, conformity assessment support and QARA collaboration.
• Sound judgement on where AI agents add value and where human review is essential, including the regulatory, data‑protection and cybersecurity implications in a medical device setting.
• Strong system architecture and systems engineering across hardware, embedded software, cloud and analytics, including interface control and integration.
• Practical competence in design control, traceability, medical device risk management, configuration and change control, and cybersecurity.
• Relevant technical degree or equivalent documented professional competence.

Language Requirements

• Required: high fluency in spoken and written English, our company language.
• Big plus: spoken and written Norwegian, Swedish or Danish.
• Also beneficial: spoken and written German.

Additional Advantages

• Formal project management qualification, such as PMP, PRINCE2 or IPMA.
• Experience in team leadership and people management.
• Hands‑on experience managing multiple AI agents in parallel to deliver complete projects, including task breakdown, context and instruction design, output review and quality control.
• Experience setting up AI agent workflows, tooling or governance for AI‑assisted development in a regulated environment.
• A relevant Engineering MSc.

How You Will Work

As the Product Management team defines product needs and priorities; you lead the technical work that makes them deliverable. You will collaborate with QARA on controlled approvals and regulatory evidence, and with Operations on manufacturing readiness. Technical sign-off will follow documented competence and the delegated Ably QMS mandate. You will plan and run delivery as one integrated model of team members, external partners and AI agents, with clear ownership and review of every output.

The role is based at Oslo Science Park (Forskningsparken) in Oslo, Norway, where we are part of the Aleap health startup incubator. We work primarily on‑site, with some flexibility, and with travel to our other sites as part of the role.
