We are looking for talented, motivated and ambitious team members to revolutionize robotic surgery.

General Description

The Principal Product Manager will architect the future of our robotic‑assisted platforms. You will lead the “upstream” strategy—identifying unmet clinical needs and translating them into a viable business case—while ensuring “downstream” commercial readiness for product launch. This role requires navigating the intersection of hardware, software, AI, and strict regulatory environments to deliver transformative robotics solutions.

Responsibilities

• Voice of Customer (VoC) – Conduct user research to develop an intimate understanding of customer needs and product value propositions.
• Establish and maintain relationships with physicians, nurses, and healthcare administrators from various market segments within the targeted clinical space.
• Build knowledge of relevant anatomy, disease states, diagnosis, and treatment modalities.
• Remain current with the latest relevant research and technologies in the robotic bronchoscopy space through periodic review of scientific literature, attend key scientific conferences and engage with clinicians.
• Strategic Vision & Roadmap – Develop compelling business plans, revenue models and executive‑facing presentations based on procedure reimbursements, projected product COGS, regulatory landscape, and competitive landscape.
• Work closely with the engineering team to demonstrate technical feasibility of product proposals.
• Gain cross‑functional alignment across key executive stakeholders for program chartering.
• Support vision and roadmap with deep analytical analysis including market sizing, business model creation and market trends.
• Own product lifecycle through initial launch – Set and manage priorities for engineering teams in a fast‑paced development process.
• Develop customer requirements and documentation to inform product design.
• Develop target product profile, pricing and reimbursement strategy, and go‑to‑market strategy for new products.
• Execute smooth product rollout process, including US product launch. Work with cross‑functional product rollout teams to prepare products for worldwide launch.

Requirements

• 12+ years of experience in a medical devices industry or related management consulting company.
• Bachelor's degree in Engineering or Science; Master's in Business Administration preferred.
• Strong technical experience and aptitude with fundamental knowledge of robotics, imaging and software solutions.
• Ability to effectively communicate concepts, ideas, and knowledge to other individuals and executives.
• Experience working with healthcare providers and knowledge of basic anatomy, clinical terminology, and general surgical techniques.
• Proven track record of successfully gathering customer feedback, generating user requirements, and conducting validation studies on medical devices.
• Experience in the regulated medical device environment, including but not limited to document control processes, design control processes, protocol development, and report writing.
• Act as a subject matter expert, coaching more junior product managers on best practices and strategic frameworks.
• Ability to travel domestically up to 25% of the time.

The Pay Range for this position is $208,000 - $260,000 USD.
